Why do you want to do this? Have you lost compression? Are you burning oil? These are the conditions they claim to fix with this product. I believe, if you read your manual, that MB says not to use any oil additives. Just use the oil they recommend. One that conforms to MB spec 229.5, like Mobil1 0W40. If you've honestly lost compression or are burning oil because of worn rings or cylinder walls, this product, assuming it actually does what it claims, will only be postponing an inevitable engine overhaul.

ahh... Thanks?
but really I was just curious. No need to get on my *** about it.
I have a high milage engine I figured theres something I can do to it to clean it out somehow. Rather than open it up

How high is your mileage? The M112 and M113 engines should provide a good long service life, they're built for it. Unless you are loosing compression or burning oil, I wouldn't put something like that in my oil. Just my $.02. Sorry if my previous post seemed less than charitable in it's tone.

Out Of Control!!
damn man thats nuts... around 115k I did sea foam, pulled it in through the brake booster. Waited a couple minutes for it to soak in and then started the car up and watched it burn everything off.
what it does... my ML ran pretty damn smooth after I did it
