Mercedes has spent two of its Formula 1 power unit development tokens as part of a improvement to its fuel system.
The tokens have been spent on ancillary components outside the sealed perimeter and therefore do not require a new power unit.
The world champion team's customers Williams, Force India and Manor have all received the update ahead of the Russian Grand Prix.
As part of the improvement, Mercedes is also running a new oil from partner Petronas.
It comes after Ferrari spent three tokens and changed the internal combustion engines on both Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel's cars.
Honda and Renault have yet to use any tokens during the season, with the latter planning an update for the Canadian Grand Prix.
TOKEN SPEND SO FAR THIS SEASON
Ferrari 26 (6 remaining)
Honda 18 (14 remaining)
Mercedes 21 (11 remaining)
Renault 7 (25 remaining)
