2004 SL55 AMG
ABC fluid
I thought I knew that Pentosin 11s was used in the 2004 SL55 AMG ABC system? Now I look in the 2004 Owners Manual and it says "hydraulic fluid". My ABC is leaking and (until I repair/replace it) I want to add fluid...what do I use (and can you direct me where to find the official answer)?
Thanks,
Tom

You should ask this question in the R230 forum. For R231s (2013-2020) the ABC system does indeed use Pentosin CHF 11s.
