2012 S350 Bluetec
Congrats on your purchase! I'm sure you'll love your car for the years to come.
Also, occasionally when you shut off your car, there will be a ticking sound as well as a burning smell. This is normal as it is part of the Bluetec system; the car burns the accumulated soot into ash.

Where were you when I first bought my S350???
That ticking was driving me crazy, I don't remember that happening with my E320 Bluetec and the SA was useless. It wasn't until I was in L.A. and a lady in an S350 pulled into the lot and parked that I realized they ALL do that from time to time.

OK, I finally got the USA version of the part number, I just had to drop the A on the filler tube 0005832204, and the Adblue is a different number 0005830107. Mercedes benz parts superstore had good prices for both.

thanks for the update. I will also be rinsing it and reusing it. BTW, I was able to get 32 - 33 mpg at a very good clip today, over 68 miles.

( Took me a while to realise that you're working on US gallons 
)
That's not bad for a 4matic.
Is it permanent 4WD, or can you select rear-wheel only ?

Although I've got a LHD, I bought the car in England (a long story . . . ) a they have no 4matics on their price-list (being RHD).
So no, it's not a 4matic.
