nical standard.
Therefore, only Mercedes-Benz-approved

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
