Engine oil
Note the following The quality of engine oils is decisive for the
func
tion and service lif eofane ngine.After
extensive tests, Mercedes-Benz approves
engine oils which correspond to th ecurrent
technical standard.
Therefore, only Mercedes-Benz approved
engine oils may be used in Mercedes-Benz
engines.
Further information on tested and approved
engine oils can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Servic eCentre. We recom-
men dhaving the oil change performed at a
Mercedes-Benz Servic eCentre. Mercedes-

Engin eoil viscosity Viscosit
ydescribes the flow characteristics
of afluid. If an engin eoil has ahigh viscosity,
this means that it is thick; alow viscosity
means that it is thin.

G
Risk of accident
The brak efluid constantly absorbs moisture
fro mt he air ;this lower sits boiling point.
If the boiling point of the brake fluid is too low,
vapour pockets may form in the brake system
when the brakes are applied hard (e.g. when
driving downhill). Thi swould impair braking
efficiency.
You should have the brake fluid renewed at
regular intervals. The brake fluid change inter-
val sc an be found in the Service Booklet.
Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes-
Benz .Information abou tapproved brak eflu-
ids can be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz
