Engine oil
General notes
!Never use engine oil or an oil filter of a spec-
ification other than is necessary to fulfill the
prescribed service intervals. Do not change
the engine oil or oil filter in order to achieve
longer replacement intervals than those pre-
scribed. You could otherwise cause engine
damage or damage to the exhaust gas after-
treatment.
Follow the instructions in the service interval display regarding the oil change. Otherwise,
you may damage the engine and the exhaust
gas aftertreatment.
When handling engine oil, observe the important
safety notes on service products (
Ypage 289).
The engine oils are matched to the performance
of Mercedes-Benz engines and service intervals.
For this reason, only use engine oils and oil fil-
ters that are approved for vehicles with a service
system.
For a list of approved engine oils and oil filters,
consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or
go to the Internet site
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com (USA only).
The table shows which engine oils have been
approved for your vehicle.
ModelMB-Freigabe or MB
Approval
G 550229.3 / 229.5
G 63 AMG229.5
iThe MB-Freigabe or MB Approval is stated
on the oil containers.
Filling capacities
The following values refer to an oil change
including the oil filter.
Vehicle modelCapacity including oil filter
G 5502.4 US gal (9.0 l)
G 63 AMG2.25 US gal (8.5 l)
Additives
!Do not use any additives in 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, this
means that it is thick; a low viscosity means that it is thin.
Select an engine oil with an SAE classification
(viscosity) suitable for the prevailing outside
temperatures. The table shows you which SAE
classifications are to be used. The low-temper-
ature characteristics of engine oils can deterio-
rate significantly, e.g. as a result of aging, soot
and fuel deposits. It is therefore strongly rec-
ommended that you carry out regular oil
changes using an approved engine oil with the
appropriate SAE classification.
