Important safety notes

Service products include the following:

 - fuels (e.g. gasoline, diesel)
 - additives for exhaust gas aftertreatment (DEF)
 - lubricants (e.g. engine oil, transmission oil)
 - coolant
 - brake fluid
 - windshield washer fluid

Vehicle components and their respective lubricants must match. You should therefore only use products that have been tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz.
