Engine oil
General notes
!
Do not use engine oil or an oil filter with
specifications deviating from those
expressly required for the prescribed service
intervals. Do not change the engine oil or oil
filter in order to set replacement intervals
longer than those prescribed. This could
otherwise cause damage to the engine or
exhaust gas aftertreatment.
Follow the instructions on the service inter-
val display for changing the engine oil. This
could otherwise cause damage to the
engine or exhaust gas aftertreatment.
When handling engine oil, observe the impor-
tant safety notes on service products
(Y page 335).
The engine oils are matched to the perform-
ance of Mercedes-Benz engines and service
intervals. You should therefore only use engine
oils and oil filters that are approved for vehi-
cles with maintenance systems.
For a list of approved engine oils and oil filters,
consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Brake fluid
G
WARNING
The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lowers the boiling point of
the brake fluid. If the boiling point of the
brake fluid is too low, vapor pockets may
form in the brake system when the brakes
are applied hard. This would impair braking
efficiency. There is a risk of an accident.
You should have the brake fluid renewed at
the specified intervals.
When handling brake fluid, observe the impor-
tant safety notes on service products
(Y page 335).
The brake fluid change intervals can be found
in the Maintenance Booklet.
Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes-
Benz in accordance with MB-Freigabe or MB-
Approval 331.0.
Information about approved brake fluid can be
obtained at any qualified specialist workshop
or on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com.
i
Have the brake fluid regularly replaced at a
qualified specialist workshop and the
replacement confirmed in the Maintenance
Booklet.
