The Right Fluids for your DIESEL Mercedes

The choices are endless when it comes to automotive fluids, and knowing which one to buy can be a daunting task. It can also feel just as daunting to get as many opinions as their are products to choose from.

Hopefully these recommendations will help make your next trip to the auto parts store that much easier. Obviously, this is yet another opinion, but all the products discussed have one thing in common, they are all well tested, and proven products.

These are my personal recommendations, and fluids I have had great success with for many years.
