14DEF consumption
Depending on the vehicle version, the DEF
consumption is:
R for the Cargo Van/Passenger Van,
approximately 2322 MPG (0.10 l/100 km)
R for the Cab Chassis, approximately
1720 MPG (0.14 l/100 km)
In each case, the stated consumption figure
is a mea nvalue between urban and extra-
urban driving cycles. The consumption figure
does no trefer to a specific vehicle, but is
provided for the purposes of comparison
between differen tvehicle types.
DEFc onsumption, like fuel consumption, is
very dependent on the driving style and the
operating conditions. This means that the real
consumption figures during operation of your
vehicle may deviate from those stated. Engine oil
General notes !
The bottles of the various engine oil types
are marked with ACEA (Association des
Constructeurs Européens d'Automobiles)
and/or API (American Petroleum Institute)
classifications. Only use approved engine
oils that conform to the following MB Specifications for Service Products and the
prescribed ACEA and/or API
classifications. Using engine oils of another
quality is not permitted and may invalidate
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
The use of other, non-approved engine oils
for diesel engines can cause damage to the
diesel particle filter (DPF).
Use only engine oils that have been approved
for your vehicle according to the MB
Specifications for Service Products.
The MB Specifications for Service Products
are valid for your vehicle 15
R 228.51
R 229.31
R 229.51
These are high quality engine oils which have
a positive effect on:
R engine wear
R fuel consumption
R exhaust gas emissions.
Multi-grade engine oils of the prescribed SAE
class (viscosity) may be used all year round,
taking the outside temperatures into
account.
Engine oil viscosity !
If the SAE viscosity class of the engine oil
used does not cover the outside
temperature range in which you are
operating the vehicle, it must be changed
in good time, in particular before the cold
season commences. Using an engine oil
that does not have adequate temperature
characteristics can lead to engine damage.
The temperature range information of the
SAE classification always refers to that of
fresh oil. The temperature characteristics
of the engine oil may deteriorate

!
If the vehicle is predominantly used for
short-distance driving, this could lead to a
malfunction in the automatic cleaning
function for the diesel particle filter. As a
result, fuel may accumulate in the engine
oil and cause engine failure.
Therefore, if you mainly drive short
distances, you should drive on a highway or
on rural roads for 20 minutes every
310 miles (500 km). This ensures sufficient
regeneration of the diesel particle filter.
Depending on the driving style, the vehicle
consumes a maximum of 1.0 US qt (1.0 l)of
engine oil over a distance of 620 miles
(1000 km).
Oil consumption may be higher if:
R the vehicle is new.
R you mainly operate the vehicle under
arduous operating conditions.
R you frequently drive at high engine speeds.
Regula rmaintenance is one of the
preconditions for moderate rates of
consumption.
You can only estimate th eoil consumption
after you have drive naconsiderable distance.
Check the engine oil level on a regular basis,
e.g. weekly or each time you refuel
