Additives
!Do notuse any additive sintheengin eoil.
This could damag ethe engine.
Engineo il viscosity
!If theSAE viscosit yclassoft heengin eoil
used does no tcover th eoutside temperature
range in whic hyou are operating th evehicle,
it mus tbechanged in goo dtime, in particular
before th ecolds eason commences. Using an
engin eoil that does no thavea dequate tem-
peratur echaracteristics can lead to engin e
damage.
The temperature range information of th eSAE
classification always refers to that of fresh oil.
The temperature characteristics of th eengine
oil may deteriorat esignificantly due to agin g
in use, especially at low outside tempera-
tures.
We recommen dthaty ou chang ethe engin e
oil before th ecolds eason commences. Use
an approve dengineo il of th especifie dSAE
class.
Engin eoil SA Eclassification
Viscosit yindicates th eflowc haracteristics of a
fluid .Ifane ngineo il has ahigh viscosity, this
mean stha titi sthick ;al ow viscosit ymean stha t
it is thin.
Dependin gontherespective outside tempera-
tures, select an engin eoil according to SA E
classification (viscosity). The table displays th e
SA Ec lassification to be used .The low temper-
atur echaracteristics of engin eoils can notice -
ably deteriorat eduring operation ,e.g.f ro m
aging, soo tand fuel accretion .For this reason ,
regular oil changes usin ganapprove dengineo il
from th esuitable SA Eclassification are urgently
recommended.
Oil change
Oil chang eintervals depend on th evehicle's
operating condition sand th equalit yoft he
engin eoil used .The on-board computer auto -
matically shows th edatef or th enexto il chang e
as an event message in th edisplay.
Mercedes-Benz recommends having th eoil
changed at aqualified specialist workshop .
Information abou toil consump tion
Dependin gonthedrivin gstyle, th evehicl econ-
sumes amaximum of 1. 0USqt(1.0l )ofe ngine
oil over adistance of 620 miles (1,000 km).
Oil consumption may be higher if:
Rthe vehicle is new.
Ryou mainly operate the vehicle under arduous
operating conditions.
Ryou frequently drive at high engine speeds.
Regularm aintenance is one of the preconditions
for moderate rates of consumption.
You can only estimate the oil consumption after
you have driven aconsiderable distance.
Check the engine oil level on aregular basis, e.g.
weekly or each time you refuel (
Ypage 242).
