Mercedes-Benz MB 100 D (EU)
Power steering fluid capacity & service interval
Mercedes-Benz MB 100 D (EU) power steering fluid capacity ranges from 0,8 to 1,25 liters. Service intervals include checking every 30000 km and changing every 300000 km or 48 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

Additional Notes
- The Mercedes-Benz MB 100 D (EU) power steering system carries a fluid capacity of 1.25 liters, which represents the total volume held within the reservoir and circulating lines of the hydraulic assist circuit.
- The steering box is a separate assembly from the power steering reservoir circuit, and the MB 100 D (EU) specifies a distinct capacity of 0.8 liters for that component alone.
- Under normal use conditions, the power steering fluid change interval is set at 300,000 km or 48 months, whichever comes first, meaning time elapsed can trigger a service requirement even before the mileage threshold is reached.
- The 48-month time-based interval for power steering fluid reflects that hydraulic fluid degrades chemically over time regardless of distance driven, making calendar-based replacement a relevant factor alongside odometer readings.
- The steering box on the MB 100 D (EU) is subject to a check interval of 30,000 km under normal use conditions, a figure considerably shorter than the full fluid change interval specified for the power steering reservoir circuit.
- A check interval of 30,000 km for the steering box, as opposed to a full fluid change, indicates a periodic inspection requirement rather than a scheduled replacement of the 0.8-liter fill at each service point.
- Both the power steering and steering box specifications apply uniformly across the full 1988-1995 model year span of the MB 100 D (EU), with no variation recorded between individual years within that range.
