Fluids for my 500SL R129

[mark seeker]

I have a 1992 500SL which is in need of a service, I wondered if anyone knows where I can look for the specification of the fluids required?

Engine Oil
Axle Oil
Automatic tranmsission oil
Brake fluid (I assume just Castrol dot 4)

Thanks in advance

Engine oil: any 10W 40 semi-synthetic. Euro seem to be the cheapest with their QX brand stuff. It's made by Shell. Asda sometimes have Castrol GTX in the sale for comedy money but not at the moment.

Transmission: any Dexron III will do in the 4-speed auto.

Diff: 75W 85 or 85W 90.

Brakes: DOT 4.

It is all listed here in this fabulously complex but comprehensive set of specifications: http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com/bevolisten/bevo-shee...
