Additives
! Do not use any additives in the engine oil.
This could damage the engine.
Engine oil viscosity
Viscosity describes the flow characteristics
of a fluid. If an engine oil has a high viscosity,
this means that it is thick; a low viscosity
means that it is thin.
Select an engine oil with an SAE classification
(viscosity) suitable for the prevailing outside
temperatures. The table shows you which
SAE classifications are to be used. The low-
temperature characteristics of engine oils
can deteriorate significantly, e.g. as a result
of aging, soot and fuel deposits. It is therefore
strongly recommended that you carry out reg-
ular oil changes using an approved engine oil
with the appropriate SAE classification.
Service products and filling capacities
Brake fluid
G
The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture
Capacity
from the air. This lowers the boiling point of
the brake fluid. If the boiling point of the brake
9.4 qt (9.0 l)
fluid is too low, vapor pockets may form in the
brake system when the brakes are applied
hard. This would impair braking efficiency.
7.4 qt (7.0 l)
There is a risk of an accident.
You should have the brake fluid renewed at
6.9 qt (6.5 l)
the specified intervals.
When handling brake fluid, observe the
important safety notes on service products
( page 349).
Y
The brake fluid change intervals can be found
in the Maintenance Booklet.
Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes-
Benz in accordance with MB-Freigabe or MB-
Approval 331.0.
Information about approved brake fluid can
be obtained at any qualified specialist work-
shop or on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com.
Have the brake fluid regularly replaced at
i
a qualified specialist workshop in accord-
ance with the replacement intervals and
the replacement confirmed in the Service
Booklet.
Coolant
Important safety notes
G
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.
