Assuring the purity of AdBlue
®
is particularly
important with respect to avoiding malfunc-
tions in the BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreat-
ment system.
If AdBlue ®
is pumped out of the AdBlue ®
tank,
e.g. during repair work, do not use this fluid to refill the tank. The purity of the fluid can no
longer be guaranteed.

Engine oil
General notes When handling engine oil, observe the impor-
tant safety notes on service products
(Y page 399).
The quality of the engine oil is decisive for the function and service life of an engine. After
extensive tests, Mercedes-Benz approves
engine oils that correspond to the current
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 Service Centre. Mercedes-
Benz recommends that you have the oil
change carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop. Mercedes-Benz approval is indica-
ted on the oil container by the inscription "MB Approval" and the corresponding designa-
tion, e.g. MB Approval 229.51.
You can call up an overview of approved
engine oils on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.co mby enter-
ing the designation, e.g. 229.5.
The table shows which engine oils have been
approved for your vehicle. Petrol engines:
in certain countries, differ-
ent engine oils can be used, provided that the
maintenance intervals are reduced. For more information, please contact a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. Petrol engines MB Approval
