Did the ABC fluid and filter change on my 2006 SL500 today, car has done 49000 miles. Followed the on-line instructions and it was a very simple and straightforward job. One thing I noticed though was that there is a code on top of the filter which I'm assuming is a manufacturer date code, on the new one it was 09/16 and the one I removed was 04/06. If I'm correct then the filter has never been replaced, the fluid was quite dark and smelled "burnt" so was time for a change. All green and clear now. :bannana:
