ABC Fluid type

I'm trying to confirm if Mercedes-Benz oil A 001 989 24 03 13 is suitable for the ABC system in the R230 SL's. I got it at the parts counter at a dealer but they barely understood what I was asking for and all the DIYs I've seen are on the older side so I'm not sure if theres been any changes in the last few years. Thanks!

Doing some more digging, I referred to https://bevo.mercedes-benz.com/bevolisten/345.0_en.html, and see that is listed along with Pentosin CHF 11S so this newer Mercedes fluid should be ok. Updating this in case anyone down the road runs into this.
