Approved service products comply with the
highest quality standards and are listed in the
MB Specifications for Service Products. Only
use service products approved for the vehi-
cle. This is an important condition for the war-
ranty.
You will recognize the approved service prod-
ucts by the inscription on the container: MB
Approval (e.g. MB Approval 228.5)
Other identifications and recommendations
refer to quality level or a specification accord-
ing to an MB Sheet Number (e.g. MB 228.5).
They are therefore not necessarily approved.
Further information can be obtained at any
qualified specialist workshop.
Additives for approved service products are
neither required nor permitted. Approved fuel
additives are the exception. Additives can
cause engine damage and must therefore not
be added to the service products.
The use of additives is always the responsi-
bility of the vehicle operator. The use of addi-
tives may result in the restriction or loss of
your Limited Warranty entitlements.
