Further information on tested and approved
engine oils can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Mercedes-
Benz recommends that you have the oil

Service Centre. Mercedes-Benz approval is

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.
Engine oil selection is based on the respective
outside temperatures and in accordance with
the SAE classification (viscosity). The table
If the engine oils listed in the table are not
available, you may add a maximum of 1.0 l
of the following engine oils, once only, until
