Only the MB fluid, please, that's a high pressure pump and toasting it will cost MUCH more than the fluid....
What's wrong with it? Drooping in the rear is bad, usually a serious leak or bad struts (EXPENSIVE, but used ones are almost always OK), rock hard with no suspension travel is bad accumulators (not a bad repair), no leveling at all with normal suspension travel is a missing actuator link.
Various other ills, but those are the worst.
Fill with correct fluid and check for leaks first -- usually what happens is that the accumulators go bad and the owner keeps driving it, bouncing like crazy, until the impact loads blow the seals out of the struts. The fluid then leaks out and the rear end droops -- new fluid will bring it back up, but will leak out the struts again pretty fast.
