Brake fluid in a system not specifically designed for it will swell seals and generally make a mess of things. Most hydraulic systems like jacks say specifically NOT to use brake fluid.
If I were going to try anything it would be generic hydraulic fluid. -Curt Date: Tue, 02 Jul 2013 15:25:39 -0500 From: Randy Bennell <rbenn...@bennell.ca> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Hydraulic fluid for self leveling system Message-ID: <51d33743.9030...@bennell.ca> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Not going to say that I recommend you do this, but my father had an Austin with suspension that could be pumped up. He used brake fluid. It is a thin hydraulic oil so no doubt similar to what is in there. Another alternative might be hydraulic jack oil if you are adventurous.
