Re: [MBZ] Green Power Steering Fluid??
I know. That was my attempt at humor. The first thing I did was smell it and it didn't smell like antifreeze. Here's a scientific test: I'll set some of it out for the incessantly barking dogs next door and monitor the resutlts. Relax, humor again.

Cool. Thanks for the link to where I can get more of the stuff when needed. Interesting that is says it's compatible with original fluid, but is not to be mixed with transmission fluid.

The difference is obvious to touch.

Oh or petes sake how are you going to figure out what it is if you don't test it? Scientific method man. What does it feel like? What does it smell like?

Re: [MBZ] Green Power Steering Fluid??
Someone may have put the green Pentosin steering fluid in. It's just a green hydraulic fluid, so I imaging it would be fine. It's the spec for some Audis and other cars. I don't think it mixes well with the red stuff, so I wouldn't put tranny fluid in there. -Robert Zoltan Finks wrote: > What?
