X Close the fuel filler flap. Petrol (EN 228)
! Refuel using only unleaded, sulphur-free
premium grade petrol with a minimum
octane number of 95 RON/85 MON con-
forming to European standard EN 228.
Otherwise, you could impair engine output
or damage the engine. i
As a temporary measure, only when the
recommended fuel is not available, you
may also use regular unleaded petrol,
91 RON/82.5 MON. This may reduce
engine performance and increase fuel con-
sumption. Avoid driving at full throttle.
In some countries, the quality of the avail-
able fuel may not be adequate and could
cause coking around the inlet valve. In such
cases, and in consultation with a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre, the petrol
may be mixed with the additive recommen-
ded by Mercedes-Benz (part no.
A000989254510). You must observe the
notes and mixing ratios specified on the
container.

Risk of fire
Do not use petrol to refuel vehicles with a die-
sel engine. Never mix diesel with petrol. This
causes damage to the fuel system and engine
and could result in the vehicle catching fire.
! Refuel using only diesel which conforms
to European standard EN 590 or German
standard DIN 51628. Otherwise, you could
impair engine output or damage the engine.
! When refuelling vehicles with a diesel par-
ticulate filter in countries outside the EU,
only low-sulphur Euro diesel with less than
0.005 percent sulphur content by weight
(50 ppm) should be used.
! In countries in which diesel with a higher
sulphur content is available, the engine oil
should be renewed at more frequent inter-
vals. More information about intervals for
changing the engine oil can be obtained
from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
! Using fuel that does not comply with the
EN 590 European standard or the Refuelling

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. You must
then have an oil change carried out at the
earliest possible opportunity.
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. Engine oil viscosity
Viscosity describes the flow characteristics
of a fluid. If an engine oil has a high viscosity,
this means it is thick; a low viscosity means
that it is thin.
Select the SAE classification (viscosity) of the
engine oil according to the outside tempera-
ture. The following table shows you the vis-
cosity classes to be used depending on the
average air temperature. Capacities
The following values refer to an oil change
including the oil filter. Vehicle model Capacity including
