fuel injector cleaner & oil additives

hello
i just did a change oil on my 2000 e430, it has a 117K miles, is it safe to use a fuel injector cleaner ( seafoam, berryman or lucas brands ) ???

how about those oil additives is it safe ?

wont it damage some components or sensors ???

On my 1992 300e i used this stuff the oil & fuel injector cleaner & it did its job,
my concern is the w210 is more hi-tech than the w124( more mechanical hahahaa )

THanks a lot !!!!

As long as you use a good fully synthetic oil, there is no need for any oil additive.
