Are you replacing the rear struts in your ABC SL500? Are you planning to do a coil-over conversion?
This is the Febi Bilstein green 06161 power steering fluid for your M112 and M113 engines. You will need about 1.5 liters to do a complete flush. What about Petosin fluid, you may ask. Watch the video, and Kent explains why he uses this fluid as a direct replacement.
If you install a standard non-ABC power steering pump in your SL500 when you do an ABC to coil-over conversion, you can also install the factory-style reservoir tank with this complete kit. If you have a W215 or W220 see our complete upgrade kit below

Let's face it. These fuel tanks and now 50 years old and most are not squeaky clean inside. There is a fuel tank screen that will catch most particles if the screen is in good shape. But I have found that it will not catch the very fine rust particulates that are so common in these old cars.

Most of the older 450 engine fan clutches are still original on most of the older unrestored V8 models from 1970 to 1980. If you are having problems with your 450 V8 running hot check the friction in your clutch. They are often worn out as they seem to never get changed.
