Engine oil
General notes When handling engin
eoil, observe the important
safety notes on service products (Y page 250).
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 curren ttech-
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 Servic eCentre. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you have the oil change carried out
at aq ualified specialist 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-Freigabeor 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.

Do not use any additives wit
hthe engine oil.
This could damage the engine. Brake fluid
G
WARNING
The brake fluid continuously absorbs mois-
ture from the air. This results in the boiling
point of the brake fluid lowering. If the boiling
point of the brake fluid is too low, vapour
pockets may form when the brakes are sub-
jected to aheavy load. This would impair brak-
ing efficiency. There is arisk of an accident.
Have the brake flui drenewe datthe prescri-
bed intervals.
Comply with the important safety notes for ser- vice products when handling brake fluid
(Y page2 50).
Only use brake flui dapproved by Mercedes-
Benz according to MB-Freigabe or MB-Approval
331.0.
Information about approved brake flui dcan be
obtained at any qualified specialist worksho por
on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com.

Im portant safety notes G
WARNING
If antifreeze come sinto contact with hot com-
ponents in the engine compartment, it may
ignite. There is arisk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool downb efore you top up
the antifreeze .Make sure that antifreeze is
not spilled next to the filler neck. Thoroughly
clea nthe antifreeze from components before
starting the engine.
! Only add coolant that has been premixed
with the desired antifreeze protection. You
coul dotherwise damage the engine.
Further information on coolants can be found in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Ser-
vice Products, MB Specifications for Service
Products 310.1, e.g. on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com .Orcontact
aq ualified specialist workshop.
! Always use
asuitable coolant mixture, even
in countries where high temperatures prevail.
Otherwise, the engine cooling system is not
sufficiently protected from corrosio nand
overheating.
i Have the coolant regularl
yreplaced at a
qualified specialist worksho pand the replace-
ment confirmed in the service report.
Comply with the important safety notes for ser- vice products when handling coolant
(Y page2 50).
The coolant is amixture of water and anti-
freeze/anti-corrosion additive. It is responsible
for the following:
R anti-corrosion protection
R antifreeze protection
R raising the boiling point
If antifreeze/corrosio ninhibitor is present in the
correct concentration, the boiling point of the
coolant willbea round 130 †. Service products and capacities
