Whomever told you that about the Mobil 1 in the ps pump is an idiot, quit listening to that person. I did that on my car over a year (and like 25kmi) ago and its been just fine, doesn't leak a bit. Many other listers have also been using it.
I believe the Dexcool is the horrid GM orange death stuff. If it is I'd get rid of it POST HASTE at worst replace with green stuff, better to go with the correct MB (available from Rusty or the dealer) or the generic replacement the name of which escapes me right now. -Curt '83 240D "Hammie" 242kmi Date: Sun, 17 Jul 2005 11:00:09 -0400 From: Anthony Galioto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [MBZ] Fluids -antifreeze and power steering To: Mercedes mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I just changed the anti freeze and power steering fluids on my 1983 240D. In the PS I put Mobil 1 ATF. I have now been told this would damage the seals. Is this correct ? Should I drain it and install regular PS Fluid? The manual says to use ATF. I also changed the antifreeze. I installed Prestone Dex-Cool, it was more expensive so I thought it's better. I am now worried because I read the container and it says its for an aluminum engine. Should I drain and replace this fluid? Thanks, Anthony 1983 240D 62900 mi __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
