The engine oils are matched to the
performance of Mercedes-Benz engines and
service intervals. You should therefore only
use engine oils and oil filters that are
approved for vehicles with maintenance
systems.
For alist of approved engine oils and oil filters,
consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center. Or visit the website
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com.
The table shows which engine oils have been
approved for your vehicle. Model Engine

Approval CLS 550
CLS 550 4MATIC

Use only SAE 0W-40orS
AE 5W-40 engine oils
for AMG vehicles.
i MB approval is indicated on the oil
containers.
Fillingc apacities The following values refer to an oil change
including the oil filter. Model Capacity

!
Do not use any additives in the engine oil.
This coul ddamage the engine. Engine oil viscosity
Viscosity describes the flow characteristics
of
afluid. If an engine oil has ahigh viscosity,
this means that it is thick; alow viscosity
means that it is thin.
Select an engine oil with an SAE classification
(viscosity) suitable for the prevailing outside
temperatures. The table show syou which
SAE classifications are to be used. The low-
temperature characteristics of engine oils
can deteriorate significantly, e.g. as aresult
of aging, soot and fuel deposits. It is therefore
strongly recommende dthat you carry out
regular oil changes using an approved engine
oil with the appropriate SAE classification. Brake fluid
G
WARNING
The brake flui dconstantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lowers the boiling point of
the brake fluid. If the boiling point of the brake
flui dist oo low,v aporpocketsm ay form in the
brake system when the brakes are applied
hard. This would impair braking efficiency.
There is arisk of an accident.
You should have the brake fluid renewed at
the specified intervals.
Comply with the important safety notes for
service products when handling brake fluid
(Y page 373).
The brake fluid change intervals can be found
in the Maintenance Booklet. 376
Service products and filling capacitiesTechnical data

Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes-
Benz according to MB Approval 331.0.
Information abouta
pproved brake fluid can
be obtaine datany qualified specialist
workshop or on the Internet at

i Have the brake fluid regularly replaced at
aq ualified specialist workshop and the
replacemen tconfirmed in the Maintenance
Booklet. Coolant
Important safety notes G
WARNING
If antifreez ecomes into contact with hot
components in the engine compartment, it
may ignite. There is arisk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool down before you add
antifreeze. Make sure that antifreez eisnot
spilled next to the filler neck.T horoughly
clean the antifreeze from components before
startingt he engine.
! Only add coolant that has been premixed
with the desired antifreezep rotection. You
coul dotherwise damage the engine.
Further information on coolants can be
found in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications
for Service Products, MB Specifications for
Service Products 310.1, e.g. on the
Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com .Or
contact aqualified specialist workshop.
! Always use asuitable coolant mixture,
even in countries where high temperatures
prevail.
Otherwise, the engine cooling system is not
sufficiently protected from corrosio nand
overheating.
Comply with the important safety precautions
for service products when handling coolant
(Y page3 73). The coolant is
amixture of water and
antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor. It performs
the following tasks:
R corrosio nprotection
R antifreeze protection
R raising the boiling point
If the coolant has antifreeze protection down
to -35 ‡(-37 †), the boiling point of the
coolant during operatio nisapproximately
266 ‡(130 †).
The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor
concentration in the engine cooling system
should:
R be at least 50%. This will protect the engine
cooling system against freezing down to
approximately -35 ‡(-37 †).
R not exceed 55% (antifreeze protection
down to -49 ‡[-45 †]). Otherwise, heat
will not be dissipated as effectively.
If the vehicle has lost coolant, add equal
amounts of water and antifreeze/corrosion
inhibitor.
Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze/
corrosion inhibitor concentrate in
accordance with MB Specifications for
Service Products 310.1.
The coolant is checked with every
maintenance interval at aqualified specialist
workshop.
i When the vehicle is first delivered, it is
filled with acoolant mixture that ensures
adequate antifreeze and corrosion
protection.
