Saw that one, or something similar, a few weeks ago. Really interesting and impressive.

I tried the rain-x in my MB last year but it seemed to gum up the level sensor. I had to dilute what was left with water and flush it all out. I also only use the MB washer fluid concentrate now. I usually order about 4 of them when I place an order from FCP Euro or ECS tuning, much cheaper than...

The Rain-X washer fluid has been great in my Toyota Matrix. been using it for over 10 years now with no problem.

Amsoil also makes something similar called Dominator Coolant Boost which claims to decrease warmup time, reduce peak operating temperature, help protect the various metals in the cooling system, and can be used with water alone or with the coolant mixture...

about $9.50 / liter

Right, hence the "I wonder if they are doing better with less" in the original post. I understand that the performance of the final product is what matters and is a combination of the materials and chemistry used. From the VOA, it looks shy of a component or two that other well blended and...

Maybe outside North America it might be but the bottle here says "Made in the USA from domestic and / or imported components.". I have no idea but I am hesitant to think they are importing Petronas formulations and finalizing them here. Maybe they could be but what in this VOA would show that...

Is that a plasma TV????

Thanks everyone for the input. For now, I am going with the OEM MB pads.

Yes, the OEM pads are Brembo.

Good to hear there should be no issues with extracting the full amount of fluid from the engine!

This is for a GLA45 AMG (MB's U.S. hot hatch). Background: purchased the car 3 years ago and on my first dealer service, they recommended a full brake replacement (pads and rotors, it's MB way, to ensure proper performance (I really kinda appreciate that)). I looked at the rotors and decided...

Appreciate the response. Yeah, it ONLY carries 229.5 (at least the bottles I purchased do), none of the 229.51 or the 229.52certs. This makes me believe that the distributer (ECS Tuning) was able to get ahold of some older AMG oil without the newer certs on the bottle (if they matter and ONLY IF...

Right, but why is it very good, what is the secret? Calcium (detergent) is one of the only things that stands out compared to M1 but it is lower than Castrol 0W-40 (2489 for AMG, 1443 for M1, but 2748 for Castrol). There doesn't seem to be anything that screams "Put this oil in an AMG" other...

Thanks for keeping up the database, it has been useful for comparison.

I thought it would stand out more on the additive side (well, I guess it does in the negative sense) but I can't fathom why MB would make this their premier AMG oil if it doesn't have much to it. I am curious if they use premium base stock and premium additives (what little additives they use)...

No but it might have some stuff made there. The bottle says "Made in the USA from domestic and / or imported components."

I am far past break-in at 60k+ miles. Just wanted to give their flagship oil a try and see what was in the AMG oil.

Can you add the MB AMG 0W-40 values to the spreadsheet? AMG 0W-40 Thanks
