Notes on engine oils
Observe the safety notes on service products

( page 145).
! Engine oils of a different quality grade are
not permissible and may damage the
engine.
Only use engine oils that comply with the
Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service
Products:
on vehicles without BlueTEC
R
aftertreatment, only use multi-grade engine
oils compliant with Sheet
No. 228.3/.31/.5/.51.
on vehicles with BlueTEC
R
aftertreatment, only use multi-grade engine
oils compliant with Sheet
No. 228.3/.31/.5/.51.
Using engine oils that have not been approved
could restrict your warranty entitlements.
Mercedes-Benz particularly recommends
engine oils that comply with
Sheet No. 228.5/.51 of the Mercedes-Benz
Specifications for Service Products.
These engine oils are of a high standard of
quality and have a beneficial effect on:
engine wear

fuel consumption
R
exhaust emissions

grade, e.g. Sheet No. 228.5, and the viscos-

Scope of use
Multi-grade oils which comply with Sheet
R
No. 228.3/.31/.5/.51 can be used all year
round. Depending on fuel quality (sulphur
content or fatty acid methyl ester FAME), oil
change intervals must be shortened.

Oil change
! If you do not use oil for all-year-round
operation in your engine, change the engine
oil right at the beginning of the cold season.
Use only an approved engine oil in the
specified SAE classification.
If the SAE class (viscosity) of the engine oil
used is not suitable for continually low out-
side temperatures below −20 †, this could
cause engine damage.
The specified temperatures of the SAE class
always refer to freshly added oil. Engine oil
ages during driving due to soot and fuel resi-
due. This impairs the characteristics of the
engine oil, particularly at low outside tem-
peratures.
Mercedes-Benz strongly recommends that,
at outside temperatures below −20 †, you
use engine oils of SAE class 5W-30.
Oil change intervals are dependent on the fol-
lowing:
the operating conditions of the vehicle
R
the grade of the engine oil used
R
the quality of the fuel
