Thanks,
It's kinda strange how MB has this stuff categorized. Power steering fluid is in the 236.3 category of ATF, and anything in 236.3 is for power steering systems ONLY, nothing in 236.3 can be put in transmissions despite being listed in the ATF category. Seems like it would've been simpler if they had a list devoted to only power steering fluid that wasn't under the ATF header.
