Oil spec SLS system,different brands of oil for the SLS system

[Lowman]

hoy there people
Does anyone have any experience using other than Mercedes ONLY ZH-M fluid for the SLS system?
I am wondering as i am going to do ANOTHER flush on the system, and i cannot be bothered paying the massive amount of top dollar for the Genuine MB oil to do the flush/cleaning on the system.
And..is the spec sheet correct in saying its 344.0 ?

You can use any hydraulic fluid that meets Mercedes-Benz spec 343.0

Any suggestions on brand/types?

On the parts list /site on where i work..they come up with this oil named MPM LHM.....and that is the Citroen mineral hydraulic fluid..which is green color,and i reaaally did not want to put that on as it is a mineral oil..and i reckon it is not suitable for the SLS system
And normally i only use genuine mercedes fluids on my car,,but for this particular flush,i want to get some cheaper oil to do the flush itself.and even go with a brand that has been tried and tested and found to be good for the SLS system....or i even just gonna get the genuine ZH-M oil after doing the flush

I use febi brand for the ps and the SLS, because dealer is too far away in the other direction.

GVZ discussed Meyle ZH-M fluid here: HOW-TO: Replacing 500E/E500 Self-Leveling Fluid Filter. I recently used the Febi fluid to flush my SLS system, but the OE MB fluid for the final fill. Feb was about $8.50 per liter, MB about $12 per liter. Stocked up so if the system holds and doesn't leak, I've got enough fluid to last a couple hundred thousand miles.
