I wonder does anyone use not only that but any additive fuel cleaner or engine cleaner at in their S class. Doesn't mercedes sale a fuel and engine cleaner chemical. I vaguely remember them pouring something into the fuel tank of my M Class awhile back. for the last 9 years or so I just stay using good gas and oil and dont worry about it.

do you see any of these tests here? BTW Anti freeze has a lower pour point that both of these oils that doesn't mean its superior
in extreme temps.

Just an observation.. I'm sure somebody has a good reason to switch to their products. They are going to have to come a little harder with the commercials before I give them the time of day.

I suspect that this product is a good one. However, Mobile 1 works great for me, please provide feedback after your test.

I have no intention of testing this product. Simply received a email and a call from vendor and wanted to find out if anyone used it or heard about it.

I've heard about it and am looking into it too. I heard about it from a friend of mine who SWEARS by it, and he as 5 Mercedes: 2 Classics, an S550, and 2 ML550's. But mine is an AMG (which he doesn't have) so his word didn't get me all the way to the store. I decided to check this site to see if anyone else was looking into it. I'll check the Audi forums, maybe test it out, and let you know what I think. I'm inclined to try it out because that's the only way I'll know for sure. Plus I'm not risk averse. I already use Mobil 1 Synthetic anyway. But it'll go in the Allroad first.

There are so many oil brands out there with various claims and some followers/consumers. It is impossible for the average owner to confirm their claims so I adhere to the manufacturer's recomemndation. In the case of MB cars, it is Mobil 1. Other oils might be superior but I have no way of verifying their claim thus not worth taking a chance. Like many of you, I have used Mobil 1 in all of our cars for years with no regrets.

For gasoline, I like Shell.
