In certain countries, different engine oils
can be used, provided that the maintenance
intervals are reduced. For more information,
please contact a qualified specialist work-
shop.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only use
approved multi-grade engine oils of the SAE
classes SAE 0W-30 and SAE 0W-40 or
SAE 5W-30 and SAE 5W-40. These engine oils
ensure optimum lubrication even at very low
outside temperatures (Y page 384).
When topping up, we recommend that you only
use engine oil of the same grade (MB-Freigabe
or MB Approvaldesignation) and SAE class as
the oil filled at the last oil change.
i If the engine oils listed in the table are not
available, you may add the following engine
oils until the next oil change:
R
MB-Freigabe or MB Approval 228.5, 229.3,
229.5 or ACEA C3
This must only be added once and the amount
must not be greater than 1.0 l.
Subsequently, have the engine oil changed at
the earliest possible opportunity.
!
Using engine oils of another grade quality is
not permitted.
Capacities
!
Do not add too much oil. Topping up with too
much engine oil can result in damage to the
engine or to the catalytic converter. Have
excess engine oil siphoned off.

Additives
!
Do not use any additives with the engine oil.
This could damage the engine.
Engine oil viscosity
!
Select the engine oil according to its SAE
class (viscosity), depending on the season
and the average outside temperature. If the
SAE class of the engine oil does not suit the
outside temperature, change the engine oil in
good time, before on the onset of the cold
season. Using an engine oil that does not have
adequate temperature characteristics can
lead to engine damage.
The temperature range information of the SAE
classification always refers to that of fresh oil.
The temperature characteristics of the engine
oil may deteriorate significantly as a result of
ageing during vehicle operation, especially at
low outside temperatures.
For this reason, Mercedes-Benz recommends
that the engine oil be changed before the
onset of the cold season. Use an approved
engine oil of the specified SAE class.
