Engine oil
Important safety notes G
WARNING
Certain components in the engine compart-
ment could be very hot, e.g. the engine, the
radiator and parts of the exhaust system.
There is a risk of injury when accessing the
engine compartment.
As far as possible, allow the engine to cool
down and only touch the components descri- bed in the following. G
WARNING
There are moving components in the engine
compartment. Certain components may con-
tinue to move or suddenly move again even
after the ignition has been switched off, e.g.
the radiator fan. There is a risk of injury.
If you have to carry out work in the engine
compartment:
R switch off the ignition
R never touch the dangerous areas surround-
ing moving components, e.g. the rotation
area of the fan
R remove jewellery and watches
R keep items of clothing and hair, for exam-
ple, away from moving parts. G
WARNING
If engine oil comes into contact with hot com- ponents in the engine compartment, it may
ignite. There is a risk of fire and injury.
Make sure that engine oil does not spill out
over the filler neck. Allow the engine to cool
down and thoroughly clean the components
that have come into contact with engine oil
before you start the engine. G
WARNING
If you open the bonnet while the engine is
overheating or while there is a fire in the
engine compartment, you could come into
contact with hot gases or other leaking ser-
vice products. There is a danger of injury. Allow an overheating engine to cool down
before opening the bonnet. If there is a fire in
the engine compartment, leave the bonnet
closed and notify the fire brigade.
Hybrid vehicles: make sure that you read the
separate Owner's Manual. You could otherwise
fail to recognise dangers, e.g. due to high volt-
age.
General notes Depending on your driving style, the vehicle
consumes up to 0.8 l of oil per 1000 km. The oil
consumption may be higher than this when the
vehicle is new or if you frequently drive at high
engine speeds.
Depending on the engine, the oil dipstick may be installed at different locations.
To check the oil level:
R park the vehicle on a level surface
R The engine should be switched off for approx-
imately five minutes if the engine is at normal
operating temperature
R If the engine is not at normal operating tem-
perature, e.g. if the engine was only started
briefly, wait approximately 30 minute sbefore
carrying out the measurement
Checking the oil level using the oil dip-
stick Check the oil level with the oil dipstick (exam-
ple)
X Pull oil dipstick :out of the dipstick tube.
X Wipe off oil dipstick :. Engine compartment
327Maintenance and care Z

X
Slowly slide oil dipstick :into the guide tube
to the stop and take it out again after approx- imately three seconds.
If the level is between MIN mark =and MAX
mark ;, the oil level is correct.
X If the oil level has dropped to MIN mark =or
below, top up with 1.0 lof engine oil.
Topping up engine oil H
Environmental note
When topping up the oil, take care not to spill any. If oil enters the soil or waterways, it is
harmful to the environment.
! Use only engine oils and oil filters that are
approved for vehicles with a service system. A list of the engine oils and oil filters that have
been tested and approved in accordance with
Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service
Products is available at any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
The following cause engine failure or damage
to the exhaust system:
R Use of engine oils and oil filters that have
not been expressly approved for the service system
R Replacement of engine oil and oil filter after
the replacement interval specified by the
service system has expired
R Use of engine oil additives
! Do not add too much oil. Topping up with too
much engine oil can result in damage to the
engine or to the catalytic converter. Have
excess engine oil siphoned off. Top up the engine oil (example) X
Turn cap :anti-clockwise and remove it.
X Top up the engine oil.
If the oil level is at or below the MIN mark on
the oil dipstick, top up with 1.0 l of engine oil.
X Replace cap :on the filler neck and turn
clockwise.
Make sure that the cap locks securely into
place.
X Check the oil level again with the oil dipstick
(Y page 327).
