If it is necessary to top up the oil of the pump that controls the Mercedes Slk soft top, the one with Mercedes specifications A 000 989 91 03 10 must be used; 400 ml are needed to fill the entire system. Unscrew the bolt above the pump (right side of the trunk) and use a rubber tube to insert the oil into the pump itself.
