That is one thing about Benz that drives me insane, it's so hard to figure out who their suppliers are. The customer type though is great since they just shovel money your way without any questions
i assume you're already familiar with this site?

https://operatingfluids.mercedes-benz.com/

there's no clear 'this is our OEM supplier' designation that i've seen on any of those fluids but they list all the approved suppliers that meet the fluid spec

Yes I am, but I'm also very particular in wanting actual OE for certain cars like this one.

VAG is easy mode, BMW is not bad, Mercedes almost as bad as Lexus

Someone other than me has a Mercedes that was throwing a minor evap code, and this certain annoying light is now off upon startup in the garage earlier. Must've been the gas cap. But it's not me.
