is not available, you can use another mineral or synthetic engine oil which has been approved
by Mercedes-Benz. You must then have an oil change carried out at the earliest possible
opportunity.
Mixing oils reduces the benefits of high-grade engine oil.
! Do not use lubricant additives. These can lead to increased wear and damage to mechan-
ical assemblies. The use of lubricant additives will result in a restriction of your warranty.
Engine oil viscosity
Viscosity describes the flow characteristics
of a fluid. If an engine oil has a high viscosity,
this means it is thick; a low viscosity means
that it is thin.
Select the SAE classification (viscosity) of the
engine oil according to the outside tempera-
ture. The following table shows you the vis-
cosity classes to be used depending on the
average air temperature.
