MB Windsheild Washer Fluid?

Hello fellow Gl owners. I wanted to top off my washer fluid today but didn't want to mix in the cheap blue stuff. Does anyone know what type of washer fluid MB uses in their vehicles? It smells like ethyl alcohol.

There is really no reason to buy washer fluid from the Dealership... Unless you like paying dealership prices...

Use winter fluid (higher alcohol content) if you live or plan to drive in an area that gets below freezing, or use summer fluid if you live somewhere like I do where in rarely gets below freezing.

The MB formulation is much better than anything you can find at the store shelf. Take it to the stealer and just say you need some fluid, they should fill it up at no charge for you. Well at least mine does.
