Technical data

Fuels, coolants, lubricants, etc.

Engine oils

Engine oils are specifically tested for their

suitability in our engines and durability for

our service intervals. Therefore, only use

approved engine oils and oil filters

required for vehicles with Maintenance

System (U.S. vehicles) or FSS (Canada

vehicles). For a listing of approved engine

oils and oil filters, refer to the Factory Ap-

proved Service Products pamphlet, or con-

tact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Engine oil additives

Do not blend oil additives with engine oil.

They may damage the engine.

Damage or malfunctions resulting from

blending oil additives are not covered by

the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.

Air conditioning refrigerant

R-134a (HFC) refrigerant and special PAG

lubricating oil are used in the air

conditioning system.

Never use R-12 (CFC) or mineral-based

lubricating oil. Otherwise damage to the

system will occur.

Brake fluid

During vehicle operation, the boiling point

of the brake fluid is continuously reduced

through the absorption of moisture from

the atmosphere.

Only brake fluid approved by

Mercedes-Benz is recommended. An

authorized Mercedes-Benz Center will

provide you with additional information.

!

Using engine oils and oil filters of specifica-

tion other than those expressly required for the

Maintenance System (U.S. vehicles) or FSS

(Canada vehicles), or changing of oil and oil filter

at change intervals longer than those called for

by the Maintenance System (U.S. vehicles) or

FSS (Canada Vehicles) will result in engine or

emission control system damage not covered by

the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.

Please follow Maintenance System

(U.S. vehicles) or FSS (Canada vehicles) recom-

mendations for scheduled oil changes. Failure to

do so will result in engine or emission control

system damage not covered by the

Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.

Warning!

G

Under extremely strenuous operating condi-

tions, this moisture content can lead to the

formation of bubbles in the system, thus re-

ducing the system’s efficiency.

Therefore, the brake fluid must be replaced

regularly. Refer to your vehicle’s Mainte-

nance Booklet for replacement interval.
