[QUOTE=Kestas]Anything is better than Dexron

In some cases yes, but not all. Many Asian cars come from the factory with Dexron in their PS units and their associated shop manuals call for it as well.

I looked above and saw no ref to Dexron anywhere. Maybe I missed it. There was a ref. to Valvoline PS fluid.

I recall reading posts by Larry Bible on this subject. He merely uses regular PS fluid purchased from McParts; not the special MB PS fluid.

I use the MB fluid which is actually made by Febi. Comes in a dark blue bottle. Forget the part number.

I read a post on either this site or another some years ago that claimed the special MB PS fluid was made for MBs with serpentine belts. Traditional PS fluid could be used in the V-8s.

Who knows? These types of discussions end up being like the oil and coolant talks.
