Additives
!Do notuse any additive sin th eengin eoil.
This could damag eth eengine.
Engine oil viscosity
!If th eSA Eviscosit yclas sof th eengin eoil
used does no tcover th eoutside temperature
range in whic hyou are operating th evehicle,
it mus tbe changed in goo dtime, in particular
before th ecold season commences. Using an
engin eoil that does no thav eadequate tem-
peratur echaracteristics can lead to engin e
damage.
The temperature range information of th eSA E
classification always refers to that of fresh oil.
The temperature characteristics of th eengin e
oil may deteriorat esignificantly due to agin g
in use, especially at low outside tempera-
tures.
We recommen dthat you chang eth eengin e
oil before th ecold season commences. Use
an approve dengin eoil of th especifie dSA E
class.
Engin eoil SA Eclassification
Viscosit yindicates th eflo wcharacteristics of a
fluid .If an engin eoil has ahigh viscosity, this
mean sthat it is thick ; alow viscosit ymean sthat
it is thin.
Dependin gon th erespective outside tempera-
tures, select an engin eoil according to SA E
classification (viscosity). The table displays th e
SA Eclassification to be used .The low temper-
atur echaracteristics of engin eoils can notice -
ably deteriorat eduring operation ,e.g. from
aging, soo tand fuel accretion .Fo rthis reason ,
regular oil changes usin gan approve dengin eoil
from th esuitable SA Eclassification are urgently
recommended.
Oil change
Oil chang eintervals depend on th evehicle's
operating condition sand th equalit yof th e
engin eoil used .The on-board computer auto -
matically shows th edat efor th enext oil chang e
as an event message in th edisplay.
Mercedes-Benz recommends having th eoil
changed at aqualified specialist workshop .
Information about oil consump tion
Dependin gon th edrivin gstyle, th evehicl econ-
sumes amaximum of 1. 0US qt (1. 0l)of engine
oil over a distance 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.
Regular maintenance is one of the preconditions
for moderate rates of consumption.
You can only estimate the oil consumption after
you have driven a considerable distance.
Check the engine oil level on a regular basis, e.g.
weekly or each time you refuel (
Ypage 254).
