Adding engine oil G
WARNING
If engine oil comes into contact with hot com-
ponents in the engine compartment, it may
ignite. There is a risk of fire and injury.
Make sure that engine oil is not spilled next
to the filler neck. Let the engine cool down
and thoroughly clean the engine oil off the
components before starting the engine.
! The alternator is located below the engine
oil filler neck. If engine oil spills onto the
alternator, there is a danger of alternator
damage. Be very careful when adding
engine oil. H
Environmental note
When adding oil, take care not to spill any. If
oil enters the soil or waterways, it is harmful
to the environment.
! Do not add too much oil. adding too much
engine oil can result in damage to the
engine or to the catalytic converter. Have
excess engine oil siphoned off.
! Do not use any additives in the engine oil.
This could damage the engine.

Storage
!
Containers made of aluminum, copper,
copper alloys as well as unalloyed or
galvanized steel are not suitable for storing
DEF. If stored in these types of containers,
DEF could cause constituents of these met-
als to dissolve and cause irreparable dam-
age to the exhaust gas aftertreatment.
Damage caused by such impurities in the
DEF will invalidate the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Only store DEF in containers made of high-
alloy Cr-Ni steel or Mo-Cr-Ni steel in accord-
ance with DIN EN 10 088-1/2/3 or plastic
containers made of polypropylene or poly-
ethylene.
Purity
! Impurities in DEF (e.g. caused by other
service products, cleaning agents, dust,
etc.) result in increased emissions, mal-
functions, catalytic converter damage or
engine damage.
The purity of DEF is essential to prevent mal-
functions in the exhaust gas aftertreatment.
If DEF is pumped out of the DEF tank, e.g.
during repair work, the same liquid must not
be used to refill the tank. Its purity is no longer
guaranteed.
Disposal
Observe country-specific laws and regula-
tions when disposing of DEF.
003D Environmental note
Dispose of DEF in an environmentally respon-
sible manner. DEF supply reservoir content
Depending on equipment, the DEF supply res-
ervoir content may vary. Tank contents
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)
12 Approximately 3.2 US gal (12.0 l
13 Approximately 4.7 US gal (18.0 l
14 Approximately 4.9 US gal (18.5 l)
13 Approximately 5.8 US gal (22.0 l)
15 DEF consumption
For vehicles with a 4-cylinder, in-line
engine (OM 651), the DEF consumption of
the vehicle is:
R
as Cargo Van/Passenger Van, approx.
2322 MPG (0.2 l/100 km)
R as Cab Chassis, approximately 1720 MPG
(0.35 l/100 km)
For vehicles with a 6-cylinder, in-line
engine (OM 642), the DEF consumption of
the vehicle is:
R as Cargo Van/Passenger Van, approx.
2322 MPG (0.10 l/100 km)
R as Cab Chassis, approximately 1720 MPG
(0.14 l/100 km)
In each case, the stated consumption figure
is a mean value between urban and extra-
urban driving cycles. The consumption figure
does not refer to a specific vehicle, but is pro-
vided for the purposes of comparison
between different vehicle types.
DEF consumption, 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.

Miscibility of engine oils
!
Mixing oils reduces the benefits of using
high grade engine oils.
We recommend that you only add engine oil
of the same quality grade and SAE class as
used when the engine oil was last changed.
If, in exceptional cases, oil of the type in the
engine is not available, top up using another
approved mineral or synthetic engine oil.
If the quality grade is not available for diesel
engines, you may also add engine oils meet-
ing the requirements in MB Sheet Number
228.5, 229.3 or 229.5. The topping-up quan-
tity is then limited to a maximum of 1 qt (1 l).
Engine oils are differentiated according to:
R engine oil brand
R quality grade (sheet number)
R SAE class (viscosity)
Subsequently have the engine oil changed at
the earliest possible opportunity.
Interval for oil change The on-board computer automatically shows
the date for the next oil change as an event
message in the display.
Only by using engine oil with a particularly
high quality grade, e.g. according to Sheet
Number 228.51 of the Mercedes-Benz Spec-
ifications for Service Products, can the maxi-
mum interval for oil change be achieved.
We recommend having the oil changed at a
qualified specialist workshop.

Information about oil consumption
!
If the vehicle is predominantly used for
short-distance driving, this could lead to a
malfunction in the automatic cleaning func-
tion 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 distan-
ces, you should drive on a highway or on
rural roads for 20 minutes every 310 miles
(500 km). This ensures sufficient regener-
ation 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 ardu-
ous operating conditions.
R you frequently drive at high engine speeds.
Regular maintenance is one of the precondi-
tions for moderate rates of consumption.
You can only estimate the oil consumption
after you have driven a considerable distance.
Check the engine oil level on a regular basis,
e.g. weekly or each time you refuel
(Y page 252). Service products and capacities
