Mercedes Brake Fluid

To ensure consistent reliability throughout the braking system's extended operating range (-40°C...+100°C)
(-40°F...+212°F), the viscosity should remain as constant as possible, with minimal sensitivity to temperature variations. Maintaining the lowest possible viscosity at very low temperatures is especially important in ABS/ASR/ETS/ESP systems.

Mercedes-Benz recommends DOT4 Plus, Mercedes part number 000 989 08 07 01 which meets Mercedes-Benz spec Blatt 331.0.
