Additives
! Do no t use any additive s in th e engin e oil.
This could damag e th e engine.
Engine oil viscosity
Viscosit y describe s th e flo w characteristics
of a fluid . If an engin e oil has a high viscosity,
this mean s that it is thick ; a low viscosit y
mean s that it is thin.
Selec t an engin e oil wit h an SA E classification
(viscosity) suitable for th e prevailing outside
temperatures . The table shows you whic h
SA E classification s are to be used. The low-
temperature characteristics of engin e oils
can deteriorat e significantly, e.g. as a result
of aging, soo t and fuel deposits. It is therefor e
strongly recommended that you carry out reg -
ular oil changes usin g an approve d engin e oil
wit h th e appropriat e SA E classification .
Brake fluid
G WARNIN G
The brak e fluid constantl y absorbs moisture
from th e air. This lower s th e boiling poin t of
th e brak e fluid . If th e boiling poin t of th e brak e
fluid is to o low, vapo r pockets may for m in th e
brak e system when th e brakes are applie d hard. This would impair braking efficiency.
There is a ris k of an accident.
You should hav e th e brak e fluid renewed at
th e specifie d intervals.
When handlin g brak e fluid , observ e th e
important saf et y note s on servic e products
( Y
page 365).
The brak e fluid chang e intervals can be foun d
in th e Maintenance Booklet .
Only use brak e fluid approve d by Mercedes-
Benz in accordanc e wit h MB-Freigabe or MB -
Approval 331.0.
Information about approve d brak e fluid can
be obtained at any qualified specialist work-
shop or on th e Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.co m.
i Have the brake fluid regularly replaced at
a qualified specialist workshop and the
replacement confirmed in the Maintenance
Booklet.
Coolant
Important safety notes
G WARNING
If antifreeze comes into contact with hot com-
ponents in the engine compartment, it may
ignite. There is a risk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool down before you add anti-
freeze. Make sure that antifreeze is not spilled
next to the filler neck. Thoroughly clean the
antifreeze from components before starting
the engine.
! Only add coolant that has been premixed
with the desired antifreeze protection. You
could otherwise damage the engine.
Further information on coolants can be
found in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications
for Service Products, MB BeVo 310.1, e.g.
on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com. Or con-
tact a qualified specialist workshop.Service products and filling capacities 369
