In the event that the:
R engine oil brand
R grade (MB Sheet number)
R SAE classification (viscosity) is not available, you can use another min-
eral or synthetic engine oil which has been
approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Mixing oils reduces the benefits of high-
grade engine oil.!
Do not use lubricant additives as they can
lead to increased wear and damage to
mechanical assemblies. The use of lubri-
cant additives will result in a restriction of
your warranty.
