Here's how to find the information in your owner's manual:
1. Locate the "Fluids and Lubricants" Section: Your manual will likely have a dedicated section that covers fluids and lubricants for your car. Look for a section labeled "Fluids," "Lubricants," or something similar.
2. Find the Power Steering Fluid Specification: Within this section, you'll find a table or list specifying the recommended fluids for different systems. Look for "Power Steering Fluid," "Power Steering Oil," or "Hydraulic Fluid."
3. Identify the Fluid Type: The manual will provide the specific fluid type required. It may be listed by brand name (e.g., Mercedes-Benz Hydraulic Fluid), by a specification number (e.g., MB 325.0), or by a general description (e.g., ATF, Dexron).
Important Considerations:
* Year and Model: Ensure that you're consulting the correct owner's manual for the specific year and model of your 190E. Fluid requirements can vary slightly between years.
* Double Check: If you're unsure or the manual doesn't explicitly mention the fluid type, it's always best to contact a Mercedes-Benz dealership or a reputable mechanic for confirmation.
Additional Tips:
* Mercedes-Benz Website: You can often find information on recommended fluids on the Mercedes-Benz website.
* Parts Catalogs: Online parts catalogs for Mercedes vehicles can also provide fluid specifications.
Remember: Always use the correct power steering fluid for your 190E. Using the wrong type can damage your power steering system.
