Index9

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.
Foralist 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.

Approval
CLS 550
CLS 550 4MATIC

CLS 63 AMG
CLS 63 AMG

Use only SAE 0W-40orSAE 5W-40 engine oils
for AMG vehicles.
iMB approval is indicated on the oil
containers.
Fillingcapacities
The following values refer to an oil change
including the oil filter.
ModelCapacity
All models (except
for AMG vehicles)
8.5 US qt (8.0 l)
All models (AMG
vehicles)
With external oil
cooler: 9.0 US qt
(8.5 l)
Additives
!Do not use any additives in the engine oil.
This coulddamage the engine.
Engine oil viscosity
Viscosity describes the flow characteristics
ofafluid. If an engine oil hasahigh 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 showsyou which
SAE classifications are to be used. The low-
temperature characteristics of engine oils
can deteriorate significantly, e.g. asaresult
of aging, soot and fuel deposits. It is therefore
strongly recommendedthat you carry out
regular oil changes using an approved engine
oil with the appropriate SAE classification.
Brake fluid
GWARNING
The brake fluidconstantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lowers the boiling point of
the brake fluid. If the boiling point of the brake
fluidistoo low,vaporpocketsmay form in the
brake system when the brakes are applied
hard. This would impair braking efficiency.
There isarisk 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
(Ypage 373).
The brake fluid change intervals can be found
in the Maintenance Booklet.

Technical data

Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes-
Benz according to MB Approval 331.0.
Information aboutapproved brake fluid can
be obtainedatany qualified specialist
workshop or on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com.
iHave the brake fluid regularly replaced at
aqualified specialist workshop and the
replacementconfirmed in the Maintenance
Booklet.
Coolant
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If antifreezecomes into contact with hot
components in the engine compartment, it
may ignite. There isarisk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool down before you add
antifreeze. Make sure that antifreezeisnot
spilled next to the filler neck.Thoroughly
clean the antifreeze from components before
startingthe engine.
!Only add coolant that has been premixed
with the desired antifreezeprotection. You
couldotherwise 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
contactaqualified specialist workshop.
!Always useasuitable coolant mixture,
even in countries where high temperatures
prevail.
Otherwise, the engine cooling system is not
sufficiently protected from corrosionand
overheating.
Comply with the important safety precautions
for service products when handling coolant
(Ypage373).
The coolant isamixture of water and
antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor. It performs
the following tasks:
Rcorrosionprotection
Rantifreeze protection
Rraising the boiling point
If the coolant has antifreeze protection down
to -35‡(-37†),the boiling point of the
coolant during operationisapproximately
266‡(130 †).
The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor
concentration in the engine cooling system
should:
Rbe at least 50%. This will protect the engine
cooling system against freezing down to
approximately -35‡(-37 †).
Rnot 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 ataqualified specialist
workshop.
iWhen the vehicle is first delivered, it is
filled withacoolant mixture that ensures
adequate antifreeze and corrosion
protection.
