Additives
!
Do not use any additives with 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 viscos-
ity rating, it flows slowly; the lower the vis-
cosity, the faster it flows.
Engine oil selection is based on the respec-
tive 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
during operation due to, for example, ageing
or soot and fuel accretion. It is therefore
strongly recommended to observe regular oil
MB-Freigabe or
changes using an approved engine oil with
MB-Approval
the appropriate SAE classification.

Coolant
Only add coolant that has been premixed
with the desired antifreeze protection.
You could otherwise damage the engine.
Further information on coolants can be
found in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications
for Service Products, MB Specifications
for Service Products 310.1, e.g. on the
Internet at

tact a qualified specialist workshop.
Always use a suitable coolant mixture,
even in countries where high temperatures
prevail.
Otherwise, the engine cooling system is not
sufficiently protected from corrosion and
overheating.
