Diesel (En 590) - Mercedes-Benz G-Class Owner's Manual

Diesel (EN 590)

i
You will generally find information on
diesel grade on the filling pump.
We recommend having the engine oil
changed every 7,500 km in countries
where only diesel fuel with a sulphur con-
tent exceeding 0.5 percent by weight is
available.
!
The following can lead to increased
wear or engine damage:
Using diesel which does not comply
with EN 590
Using marine diesel fuel
Using heating oil
Using vegetable oil methyl ester
(VME)
Using fuel additives ("bio-diesel",
FAME fuels)
The use of non-approved fuels and fuel
additives will lead to the limitation of
your warranty rights.
Nur fuer internen Gebrauch
Low outside temperatures
To prevent operating problems, diesel with
improved cold flow qualities is available
during the winter months.
You can use winter diesel at temperatures
down to approximately –20 °C without
problems.
To improve flow properties, it is possible to
mix diesel with kerosene and flow improv-
er.
The mixing ratio depends on the type of
diesel and the outside temperature. How-
ever, keep the concentration of flow im-
prover as low as possible.
