I haven't yet become aware of any vehicle that comes with Platinum installed at the factory. They may be out there. I just have not yet seen it. I do know that Mercedes tested them in their engines when they first became available, and continued to advise Supers. I tend to follow advice of those I know have tons more data than I and a whole team of Neandereers each of which is better qualified by schooling and experiance than I. I am ape see ape do. Guess which apes I watch? The ones who made das maschine, who obviously know more than the whole list combined. All else is just commentary thereon, including my opinion. NOTE: I am running about 50 e-mails behind at the moment, and begin to despair of ever catching up. If you send a p-mail, you risk being deleted unless the subject makes it clear it's to me and not the list. I never knowingly or willing ignore p-mails, but they can get lost as I work my way through. Thank you for your understanding.
