Only the Mercedes (made by Bilstein-Febi) fluid should be used. However, it's available, for much less, from sources other than the dealerships.
It's less than $10 per liter at some places [IMG]http://www.***************/secure/PartImages/0009899103.jpg[/IMG]

I've run John Deere hyd. fluid in all my cars w/ SLS...been upwards of 5-6 years w/o great results with considerably less cost.
FYI, I do flush my SLS fluid every 2 years...as well as run an extra filter in the reservoir screen (one from a 123 wagon will drop in). Jonathan
