When you do step #2 (removing spring retainer nut) Carefully, ease the tension off of the spring or that nut may be launched into never-to-be-seen-again land! :eek: Fortunately, my brother was watching and saw where it landed. :o

What is the factory service interval for this filter change?

That's what I'm wondering... I'd say every 10K or so? :confused: Also, I drain that pump each time I change the filter. That fluid can be nasty! :eek: |
Nothing in the books that I can find. So, I'd say every 50,000 to 100,000 miles, unless you have nothing else to do.

PS Filter Change
My old-style filter ('86) had never been changed to the new style, pleated-paper, filter, so I freaked when I opened 'er up and did not find what I expected. Remove the nut, tan plastic, and spring, and lift out the steel plate; underneath is a fiber filter and a steel ring. Toss all this and install the new-style replacement filter. Thanks to this site's members for seeing me through.

I got a hair full of ps fluid when the spring and washer went flying off the spindle too :D |
Change interval
I would suggest every 30,000 miles. For some M-Bs (like my '96 E300D) there doesn't seem to be a factory spec--the first PO took the car to the dealer for everything and changing the PS fluid was never mentioned (W210 has no filter). It looked to me as if the fluid had never been changed in 248,000 miles -- it was black and the pump was performing poorly at low engine speeds. I flushed the system and will repeat it after a few thousand miles just to make sure.

Just flushed the goo out of mine and put a new filter. Thanks for the heads up Roy.

I have a 1981 300SD and when I take the lid off of my box there is no plastic piece, just a metal collar kind of clip on top of the spring. Am I missing something inside there or do I just need to take off that clip and follow the rest? My steering wheel has about 2 inches of play, by the way.
