Mercedes-Benz How to Check Car Fluid Levels (Transmission, Brake, Power Steering, Coolant and Oil)

Check, measure and evaluate the condition of the most important car fluids in your SL R129, R107, W124, W140, W126, 300SL, 320SL, 500SL. The fluids covered are: coolant, brake fluid, power steering oil, automatic transmission and engine oil).

Every fluid has its own particular way of being measured. Some fluids need to be measured when the engine is cold, warm, on or off...

I show you what to look for when testing and how often you should be changing each fluid. In doing so, your car will run better, last longer and drive more safely.

Note: I have a temporary fix on my coolant reservoir tank, noted by the red around the area below the cap. I will be replacing it shortly. I'll try to make a video on it!
