LIQUI MOLY Steering Gear Oil 3100 - Premium Hydraulic Protection

Purpose and Specifications

LIQUI MOLY Steering Gear Oil 3100 (Product Code 1145) is a mineral-based hydraulic oil engineered to protect and optimize your vehicle's steering system. This premium oil meets strict Mercedes-Benz standards (MB-Approval 236.3) and is compatible with Volkswagen and ZF transmission systems.

What This Oil Does:

• Reduces steering effort - Low friction formula makes steering smoother and more responsive, whether in traffic or at highway speeds
• Protects steering components - Advanced anti-wear additives create a protective layer on metal surfaces, extending component lifespan
• Maintains performance in heat - High thermal stability ensures the oil performs reliably even when your steering system heats up during extended driving
• Prevents leaks - Seal-compatible formula keeps your system leak-free and reduces the need for premature seal replacements
• Resists foaming - Maintains stable lubrication under high-pressure conditions, ensuring consistent steering response

Operating Temperature Range: Performs reliably from cold starts to high-temperature driving conditions, with excellent low-temperature flow properties.

When to Use / Replace?

Follow your vehicle manufacturer's maintenance schedule for steering fluid changes. Most vehicles require steering fluid inspection every 12-24 months or 15,000-30,000 km. If your steering feels stiff, unresponsive, or you notice fluid leaks, have your system checked immediately. Use only LIQUI MOLY 3100 without mixing with other fluids for optimal performance.

Approvals & Compatibility: Dexron II D, DTFR 38B100 (236.3), MB-Approval 236.3. Compatible with VW G 009 300 and ZF TE-ML 03D, 04D, 09, 11, 14A, 17C systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I mix LIQUI MOLY 3100 with other steering fluids?
A: No. For best results, use LIQUI MOLY 3100 on its own without mixing. Mixing with other fluids may reduce effectiveness and could damage seals.

Q: How long does one liter last?
A: One liter is typically used for topping off or partial system refills. A complete steering system flush usually requires 2-4 liters depending on your vehicle. Check your owner's manual for exact capacity.

Q: Is this oil suitable for my vehicle?
A: LIQUI MOLY 3100 is approved for Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, and ZF-equipped vehicles. Verify your vehicle matches the listed specifications (VW G 009 300 or ZF TE-ML codes) before purchasing. Consult your owner's manual or contact a dealer if unsure.
