No, do NOT use ATF, use power steering fluid (they are NOT the same!). ATF will cause the steering box to leak, as mine does. Much less after a year of proper PS fluid.

The W123 chassis used ATF.

Can someone refresh my memory? In a W124 gasser, you can use Mobil 1 ATF
for the power steering, correct?

It's snowing here, and I have a few things on the list, but changing
steering fluid is as motivated as I can get today.

I seem to remember, suck out what you can, add while turning the steering wheel. Wait awhile and repeat. After 3 times, most of the fluid will be
changed?  Umm, there's a filter in there too I think?
