Remove the FILL plug first, to make sure it will come out, before you remove the drain plug! Refill with Mobil-1 (of course). Schedule a change every 30-60kmi, depending on your preference. For power steering, I'd use the OE Mercedes fluid, and change the filter while you're at it. Suck the reservoir dry, remove filter. Fill with fresh fluid (will take maybe 1/2 quart at most), run engine & turn wheels lock to lock several times. Repeat. Do this about 4 times so you've run 2 bottle of fluid through, and you'll have about 90% new fluid in the system. Install new filter. Check level the next day when hot. A wheel bearing repack wouldn't hurt, but it's a tedious job if you're fastidious like me. Use the OE dealer "neon green" grease, comes in a 150g tube, enough for both front wheels. Oh, I'd also replace any coolant hoses that are original - cheap insurance. After that, get some new muffler bearings and convert to synthetic headlight fluid, and you're all set! =) -Dave M. > ------------------------------ > Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2006 15:28:06 -0600 > From: "Donald Snook" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [MBZ] Preventive Maintenance > > > What about servicing the rear diff?
