Mobile is in Alabama, its Mobil.
Yeah I always use ATF and frequently (usually?) its Mobil 1. My 190D has a
replacement pump thats still on its "cleanout" change of regular ATF.
One time Marshal chided me for changing the PS fluid too often. I was replacing
it (or at least whats accessable in the pump) at every oil change. I was doing
the filter once a year.
Now I replace fluid once a year, filter every other year. The fluid looks just
as clean as it did with more frequent changes.
Note if you've got a pump with really horrible fluid in it now I'd expect it to
leak on replacment. The pump that was in my 190D when I got it was full of
brown metallic flaky crap. After a couple months with clean fluid it started
leaking...
A replacement pump was cheap and easy to do.
