OK I replaced the fluid with the genuine article. It looked and tasted exactly the same as what was in the system. The guy was probably right about using regular mineral oil. It is sure a lot less expensive than the MB stuff.

I replaced the return hose and also forced air thru the system to remove every last drop of old oil. I probably didn't need to replace the oil but I will sleep better now. ANd I need all the sleep I can get.
