This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Engine oil standards
Changing engine oil
Engine oil consumption
Checking the engine oil level and refilling the engine oil
Troubleshooting
The engine oils are not only tailored to the requirements of engines and exhaust gas treatment
systems, but also to fuel quality. Due to the way in which a combustion engine works, engine oil
always comes into contact with combustion residues and fuel, which has corresponding effects on
the ageing process of the oil. The correct engine oil is important for the function and service life of
the engine. A special multigrade high-lubricity oil has been filled at the factory and this can normally
be used as an all-season oil.

You can check whether your vehicle is equipped for the Flexible Service QI6 (Longlife) or Fixed
Service QI1, QI2, QI3, QI4, QI7 (dependent on time or mileage) in the vehicle data Technical data
or on the inside cover of this owner's manual.

Used oil must be disposed of in accordance with regulations governing the protection of the
environment. Never dispose of used oil in locations such as gardens, woods, sewerage systems, on
streets and roads, or in rivers and waterways.
Engine oil consumption
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Engine oil consumption can vary from engine to engine and can change during the service life of an
engine.
The vehicle may consume up to 1.0 litre of engine oil per 2,000 km, depending on your driving style
and the conditions in which the car is used. In new vehicles, consumption may be higher for the first
5,000 km. The engine oil level must therefore be checked at regular intervals, preferably each time
the vehicle is refuelled and before long journeys.
