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.

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.
