Purpose and Specifications

Liqui Moly Steering Gear Oil 3100 (article 1145) is a premium mineral-based hydraulic oil designed for mechanical and power steering systems, especially in Mercedes-Benz vehicles meeting MB-Approval 236.3 and Dexron II D standards. This 1-liter plastic can delivers maximum wear protection with advanced anti-wear additives that shield metal parts, ensuring smooth, precise steering control even in high-stress conditions.

It offers outstanding thermal stability to resist breakdown at high operating temperatures up to 120°C, while excelling in cold starts down to -40°C for reliable flow. Superior foam resistance prevents air bubbles that cause jerky steering, and enhanced corrosion protection extends component life. Compatible with seals to avoid leaks, it provides low-friction operation for effortless handling in traffic or at highway speeds.

When to Use / Replace?

Use this oil in Mercedes-Benz steering gears, ZF transmissions (TE-ML 03D/04D/09/11/14A/17C), and VW systems (G 009 300) per manufacturer specs. Ideal for vehicles in extreme climates or heavy use. Replace every 50,000 km or 24 months to maintain peak performance and prevent wear—whichever comes first. Shelf life is 5 years when stored cool and dry.

• Perfect for power steering that feels stiff or noisy
• Refill during service to restore smooth response
• Best results when used undiluted, no mixing with other fluids
