When changing the power steering filter and fluid, are there any seals/gaskets that should be changed. Also, my MB manual calls for A/T fluid, is this the same as the power steering fluid that is being sold by Febi Bilstein?

1983 380 SE

Thanks.

The power steering gearboxes take ATF. The some of the newer cars call for MB P/S fluid. The E-Class cars 1996-present take either MB p/s fluid, part #000 989 88 03, or one of the approved Dextron III ATFs. The CLK-Class also can take either fluid. The rest of MB cars require MB p/s fluid or p/s fluid from Pentosin. Again though, for 1983 ATF will be fine. Your owner's manual will list what is to be used. If you want the list of approved ATFs, I have that. I just received the "Factory Approved Service Products" list from MB.
