The old battery in my 450 (From my wife's previous 163 ML - 6 1/2 years old) finally died and refused to take a charge this weekend so I decided my 6.9 needed a new Mercedes Battery with original stickers etc and it's present perfectly good one transferred to the 450.
I came home after a half an hour of bartering with a new battery and all the oil necessary for a change of power steering fluid and also the hydraulic suspension.
I already have the filters for both systems and will use a suction oil changer to empty the reservoirs with the suspension on it's bump stops and then remove the reservoir and clean it out.
Does anyone have any other tips to clear as much of the old oil as possible out of the system?
My car has bleed valves but there seems to be no proscribed means to change the hydraulic oil.
