ABC reservoirs/checking level
I have a couple questions regarding checking the ABC suspension fluid level:
- where is/are the reservoirs? I hear some cars (CL) have more than one, do we (R230) also?
- what kind of fluid should it be topped off with if its low?
Sorry for the basic questions but I'm still waiting for my service manual to come. Thanks.

I have only seen one reservoir and it is in the engine compartment behind the driver's side headlight. My guess is that the fluid is unique and a dealer item only. The active suspension setup in these cars reminds me of the one in my old Infiniti Q45A. The active suspension fluid was a dealer item only and it cost me about $40 for a quart-size bottle.
Once you get your service manuals, please post what you found.
