Mixing oils reduces the benefits of high-
grade engine oil.
! Do not use lubricant additives, since they
lead to increased wear and damage to the mechanical assemblies. The use of lubri-
cant additives limits warranty claims.
!
Engine oils for vehicles without a diesel
particle filter may also be used temporarily
in vehicles with a diesel particle filter if the
engine oil listed is not available. You must
then have an oil change carried out as soon
as possible.
Capacities The following values refer to an oil change including the oil filter.

Brake fluid
Over a period of time, the brake fluid absorbs
moisture from the air; this lowers its boiling
point. G
Risk of accident
If the boiling point of the brake fluid is too
low, vapour pockets may form in the brake
system when the brakes are applied hard
(e.g. when driving downhill). This would
impair braking efficiency. Have the brake fluid renewed every two
years with a brake fluid that has been
approved by Mercedes-Benz and have this
confirmed in the Service Booklet.
i There is usually a notice in the engine
compartment to remind you when the next
brake fluid change is due. Windscreen washer system
The washer fluid reservoir holds approxi-
mately 4.5 litres; on vehicles with the head-
lamp cleaning system* it holds 7 litres.
The headlamp cleaning system* and the
windscreen washer system are both supplied
from the washer fluid reservoir.
X At temperatures above freezing point:
Top up the washer fluid reservoir with a
mixture of water and windscreen washer
concentrate (Y page 226).
X At temperatures below freezing point: Technical data
