Default Caliper brake clips

I was a bit surprised to find Pentosin Dot 4 and also Dot 4 LV. I went with the latter since the brake fluid cap says DOT 4+ and (fingers crossed) hoped that the LV is the +.

The non LV says nothing about ABS, etc. However the LV lists later (very relative term) cars that have ABS, ASR, ESP/DSC and is of a low viscosity.

I asked the sales guy if it was compatible with an '03 SLK320 and he said it called for either DOT 3 or 4. Just checking through all of the Mercedes Benz models on the Pentosin web pages and they all called for DOT 4.

What is the +? Do all of your brake fluid caps say DOT 4+?

So...am I good to go with the LV or not?
