Followthe instructions inthe serviceinterval displayregardingthe oilchange.
NOTEDamagecausedbyaddingtoomuch engine oil
Too much engine oil can damagethe engineorthe catalytic converter.

Turncap1counter-clockwise andremoveit.
Add engine oil.
Replace cap1and turn it clockwise asfaras it will go.
Checkthe oil level again (→page 351).
Checking coolant level
\nWARNINGRisk of burns from hot com‐ponent parts inthe engine compartment
Certain components inthe engine compart‐ment can beveryhot, e.g.the engine,theradiator and parts oftheexhaust system.
Allowthe enginetocool down and onlytouch component parts described inthefollowing.
\nWARNINGRisk of scalding from hotcoolant
The engine cooling system is pressurized,particularly whenthe engine iswarm. Ifyouopenthe cap,you could be scaldedbyhotcoolant spraying out.
Letthe engine cool down before open‐ingthe cap.
When openingthe cap,wear protectivegloves and safetyglasses.
Openthe cap slowlytorelease pres‐sure.
Maintenance and care353

Parkthevehicle on a level surface.
Checkthe coolanttemperature display intheinstrument cluster.The coolanttemperature must be below158 °F (70 °C).
Slowly turn cap1counter-clockwisetorelieve overpressure.
Continue turning cap1counter-clockwiseandremoveit.
The coolant level is correct:
RIfthe engine is cold, uptomarker bar2.
RIfthe engine iswarm, upto0.6 in (1.5 cm)over marker bar2.
If necessary,add coolantthat has beenapprovedbyMercedes-Benz.RFurther information on coolant:(→page 423)
Addingwasherfluidtothe windshieldwasher system
\nWARNINGRisk of burns from hot com‐ponent parts inthe engine compartment
Certain component parts inthe engine com‐partment can beveryhot, e.g.the engine,the cooler and parts oftheexhaust system.
Letthe engine cool down and onlytouchthe component parts describedasfollows.
\nWARNINGDanger of burns when open‐ingthe hood
Ifyou openthe hood whenthe engine hasoverheated or during afireinthe enginecompartment,you could come into contactwith hotgases orother escaping operatingfluids.
Before openingthe hood, allowtheenginetocool down.
Intheevent of afireinthe engine com‐partment,keepthe hood closed andcallthefireservice.
\nWARNING‑ Risk offireand injury fromwindshieldwasher concentrate
Windshieldwasher concentrate is highlyflammable. It could ignite if it comes intocontact withhot engine component parts ortheexhaust system.
Make surethat no windshieldwasherconcentrate spills out nexttothefilleropening.

\nWARNING‑ Risk offireand injury fromantifreeze
If antifreeze comes into contact withhotcomponent parts inthe engine compart‐ment, it may ignite.
Allowthe enginetocool down beforeadding antifreeze.
Makesurethat no antifreeze spills outnexttothefiller opening.
Thoroughly clean off any antifreezefrom component parts beforestartingthevehicle.
NOTEDamagecausedbyincorrect cool‐ant
Only add coolantthat has been pre‐mixed withtherequired antifreeze pro‐tection.
