is not available ,you can use another minera lorsyntheti cengine oil which has been approved
by Mercedes-Benz. You must then have an oil change carrie dout at the earliest possible
opportunity.
Mixing oil sreduces the benefits of high-grade engine oil.
! Do not use lubricant additives .These can lea dtoincreased wea rand damage to mechan-
ical assemblies. The use of lubricant additives wil lresult in arestrictio nofyourw arranty. Engine oil viscosity
Viscosity describes the flow characteristics
of afluid. If an engine oil has ahigh viscosity,
this means it is thick; alow viscosity means
that it is thin.
Select the SAE classification (viscosity )ofthe
engine oil according to the outside tempera-
ture. The following tabl eshow syou the vis-
cosity classes to be use ddepending on the
