Ive recieved a few E mails on what power steering fluid to use in your sprinter. I also see that some of you were told to use Chryslers ATF+4
THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT FLUID. who ever told you that is a moron. for 1 the power steering fluid in your sprinter is clear not red, the ATF+4 is redish/purple colored. No sprinter uses ATF+4 for anything, not the power steering, not the transmission. Its a Chrysler / dodge fluid.
The correct power steering fluid for your sprinter is made by GUNK part # M2712SYN. You could go to the MB dealer to buy their fluid but why pay the MB price?
When I do a MB or Sprinter power steering fluid flush I use this fluid and have had no problems at all. Its made for european and nissan vehicles. If youre going to do a complete flush get about 9-14 bottles, depending on how dirty your fluid is. i wish they sold it in bigger 1 gallon jugs but all i ever see it in is 12oz bottles.

also it is SAFE to add lucas power steering stop leak to the MB power steering system. but do not add automatic transmission fluid to your sprinters steering system!
