Petrol engines:
in certain countries, different
engine oils can be used, provided that the main-
tenance intervals are reduced. For more infor-
mation, please contact a qualified specialist
workshop. Petrol engines MB-Freigabe or

use only SAE 0W-40
or SAE 5W-40 engine oils.
i If the engine oils listed in the table are not
available, you may add the following engine
oils until the next oil change:
R Petrol engines: MB-Freigabe or MB-
Approval 229.1, 229.3 or ACEA A3
R Diesel engines: MB-Freigabe or MB-
Approval 229.1, 229.3, 229.5 or ACEA C3
This must only be added once and the amount must not be greater than 1.0 l.
Capacities The following values refer to an oil change,

Additives
!
Do not use any additives with the engine oil.
This could damage the engine.
Engine oil viscosity Viscosity describes the flow characteristics of a
fluid. If an engine oil has a high viscosity rating, it flows slowly; the lower the viscosity, the faster
it flows.
Engine oil selection is based on the respective
outside temperatures and in accordance with
the SAE classification (viscosity). The table
shows you which SAE classifications are to be
used. The low-temperature properties of engine
oils can be significantly impaired during opera-
tion due to, for example, ageing or soot and fuel
accretion. It is therefore strongly recommended to observe regular oil changes using an
approved engine oil with the appropriate SAE
classification. Service products and capacities
