According to the MB spec sheets there are no additives required. Why would ASD
need an additive? There are no clutches in the differential, everything is done

Dan, your thinking of ASR. Max's E300 has ASD (limited slip/auto locking
diff) which does require special fluid. ASD was available on early'90s
diesel some 46cyl gas models (201/202/124?) here in the US. What
model W140 do you have?
