This is general info, first of all I didn't recall on which car it happened, then when I pulled the screens I saw it was a S550 4-MATIC 2012
Info is always good

it would be nice that you post a list of models that do need this data to be inserted
that would help the community

Well, today I took it out for another run. On an empty stretch of highway I hammered it full throttle from a slow roll to 100+ a couple of times. No hesitation, no misfires, no codes. I'll continue to run fuel injector cleaner through the system for a while at least, and keep it up periodically as a preventive measure, but it looks like the problem is fixed. Well, THIS problem anyway. Now if I can just figure out why it likes dumping coolant overboard, I'll have a reasonably reliable vehicle. For a while.

2007 S600, 2007 Chrysler 300 SRT8, 2000 C5 Corvette, and 2017 Mustang GT, and just got a 2023 300C
I run a large plastic bottle of techron added to a full tank about once a month. I think it helps.
