Petrol engines: in certain countries, differ-
ent engine oils can be used, provided that the
maintenance intervals are reduced. For more
information, please contact a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.

If the engine oils listed in the table are not
available, you may add the following engine
oils until the next oil change:
vehicles with a petrol engine: MB
R
Approval 229.1, 229.3 or ACEA A3
vehicles with a diesel engine: MB
R
Approval 229.1, 229.3, 229.5 or ACEA
C3
This must only be added once and the
amount must not be greater than 1.0 l.

Viscosity describes the flow characteristics
of a fluid. If an engine oil has a high viscosity
rating, it flows slowly; the lower the viscosity,
the faster it flows.
Engine oil selection is based on the respective
outside temperatures and in accordance with
the SAE classification (viscosity). The table
shows you which SAE classifications are to be
used. The low-temperature properties of
engine oils can be significantly impaired dur-
ing operation due to, for example, ageing or
soot and fuel accretion. It is therefore
strongly recommended to observe regular oil
changes using an approved engine oil with the
appropriate SAE classification.
