General notes When handling engine oil, observe the important
safety notes on service products (Y page 371).
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 tech-
nical 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 recom-
mends that you have the oil change carried out
at aq ualifieds pecialist workshop. Mercedes-
Benz approval is indicated on the oil container
by the inscription "MB-Freigabe" or "MB-
Approval "and the corresponding designation,
e.g. MB-Freigabe or MB-Approval 229.51. You can call up an overview of approved engine
oils on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com by entering
the designation, e.g. 229.5.
The table shows which engine oils have been
approved for yourv ehicle.
Petrol engines: in certain countries, different
engine oils can be used,p rovidedthat the main-
tenance intervals are reduced .For more infor-
mation, please contact aqualifieds pecialist

Importan tsafety notes G
WARNING
If antifreeze comes into contact with hot com- ponents in the engine compartment, it may
ignite. There is arisk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool dow nbefore yo utop up
the antifreeze .Make sur ethat antifreeze is
not spilled next to the filler neck. Thoroughly clea
nthe antifreeze from components before
starting the engine.
! Only ad
dcoolant that has bee npremixed
with the desire dantifreeze protection. You
coul dotherwise damag ethe engine.
Furthe rinformatio noncoolants can be found

! Always use
asuitabl ecoolant mixture, even
in countries where hig htemperatures prevail.
Otherwise ,the engine cooling system is not
sufficiently protected from corrosion and
overheating.
i Have the coolant regularly replaced at a
qualified specialist workshop and the replace- ment confirmed in the Service Booklet.
Comply with the important safety precautions
for service products whe nhandling coolant
(Y page 371).
The coolant is amixture of water and anti-
freeze/corrosion inhibitor. It is responsible for
the following:
R anti-corrosion protection
R antifreeze protection
R raising the boiling point
If antifreeze/corrosion inhibito rispresent in the
correct concentration, the boiling point of the
coolant during operation will be approximately
130 †.
The antifreeze concentrate/corrosion inhibitor
concentration in the engine cooling system
should:
R be at least 50%. Thi swillp rotect the engine
cooling system against freezing dow nto
approximatel y-37 †.
R not excee d55% (antifreeze protection down
to -45 †). Hea twillo therwise not be dissipa-
ted as effectively.
Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze/
corrosion inhibito rconcentrate in accordance
with MB Specifications for Service Products
310.1.
i Whe
nthe vehicle is first delivered, it is filled
with acoolant mixtur ethat ensures adequate
antifreeze and corrosion protection. 376
