Substitute for ABC oil?

Is there a substitute for Pentosin CHF 11S? How about what to use if you are stranded and can't get Pentosin CHF 11S ?

Thanks for any advice.

Here's a couple that I know of that claim to be substitues, however I don't think they have official MB approval.

SL55, GL450, and 300SE

CHF202, and Febi 06161 all work. Hoever, Febi 06061 is harder to find than CHF11s.

Autozone and AdvacedAuto both carry 11s and 202 as regular item for top up. for flush and fefill, bulk purchase is better option.
