My opinion: Do not put any additives in your gasoline or in your oil.

also avoid places that have *May contain upto 10% ethanol* It gives less performance and gas mileage.

Owner's Manual states to not put any additives in the fuel.

Local MB service adviser recommends Chevron (because of its detergents for the fuel injection system).
