Engine oil
A list of engine oils tested and approved in accordance with the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service Products is available from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Approval by Mercedes-Benz is also often indicated by the MB Sheet Number on the oil container. The table
shows which MB Sheet number applies to which engine: Technical data

R SAE classification (viscosity) corresponding to the oil used in your engine
is not available, you can use a different
mineral or synthetic engine oil approved by
Mercedes-Benz.

Mixing oils reduces the benefits of high-
grade engine oil.
! Do not use lubricant additives, since they
lead to increased wear and damage to the mechanical assemblies. The use of lubri-
cant additives limits warranty claims.
!
Engine oils for vehicles without a diesel
particle filter may also be used temporarily
in vehicles with a diesel particle filter if the
engine oil listed is not available. You must
then have an oil change carried out as soon
as possible.
Capacities The following values refer to an oil change including the oil filter.

388 Coolant
The coolant is a mixture of water and anti-
freeze/corrosion inhibitor. It performs the
following tasks:
R anti-corrosion protection
R antifreeze protection
R raising the boiling point
i When the vehicle is first delivered, it is
topped up with a coolant that will ensure
adequate antifreeze and corrosion protec-
tion.
! Only top up with coolant that has been
premixed with the desired quantity of anti-
freeze protection. You could otherwise
damage the engine.
There is more information about coolant
and topping it up on Mercedes-Benz Spec-
ifications for Service Products Sheet
310.1.
! Always use a suitable coolant mixture,
even in countries where high temperatures
prevail.
Otherwise, the cooling system will not be
sufficiently protected from corrosion, and
the boiling point will be too low. If antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor is present in
the correct concentration, the boiling point of
the coolant will be around 130 °C.
The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentra-
tion in the cooling system should:
R
be at least 50%. This will protect the cooling
system against freezing down to around –
37 °C.
R not exceed 55% concentration (antifreeze
protection down to –45 °C), otherwise heat
will not be effectively dissipated.
If the vehicle has lost coolant, top it up with
equal amounts of water and antifreeze/cor-
rosion inhibitor. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends using an antifreeze/corrosion inhibi-
tor which has been approved for Mercedes-
Benz.
! The cooling system contains a filling
which must be renewed after 15 years, or
after 250, 000 km at the latest. Have the
renewal confirmed in the Service Booklet.
The warranty is only valid if you top up with
an antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor which
has been approved by Mercedes-Benz, and
observe the recommended mixing ratios. Technical data
