To all,
I love reading S. Longston replys, but what's his car doing in a graveyard. I have driven MB diesels well over one million miles and have plaques on the wall in the lab from Daimler-Benz to prove it. I doubt if I have spent $15 on additives,and when I did I could not tell one bit of difference. In the winter if it was going to zero,I would add a gallon of kerosene(#1 diesel). Mercedes recommeds the use of Keresene as an antigel agent. No where in the owners manual does it say to use any additives,other than kerosene.
Read your owners manual under Diesel Fuels. While you are reading your owners manual, check the section on coolants. You may learn something about which coolants you can use in your Mercedes.
