Technical data

Fuels, coolants, lubricants, etc.

Fuel requirements

Only use premium unleaded fuel:

The octane number (posted at the

pump) must be 91 min. It is an average

of both the Research Octane Number

(RON) and the Motor Octane Number

(MON): (RON+MON)/2. This is also

known as the ANTI-KNOCK INDEX.

Unleaded gasoline containing oxygenates

such as ethanol, IPA, IBA and TBA can be

used provided the ratio of any one of these

oxygenates to gasoline does not

exceed 10%; MTBE must not exceed 15%.

The ratio of methanol to gasoline must not

exceed 3% plus additional co-solvents.

Using mixtures of ethanol and methanol is

not allowed. Gasohol, which contains

10% ethanol and 90% unleaded gasoline,

can be used.

These blends must also meet all other fuel

requirements, such as resistance to spark

knock, boiling range, vapor pressure, etc.

Gasoline additives

A major concern among engine manufac-

turers is carbon build-up caused by gaso-

line. Mercedes-Benz recommends only the

use of quality gasoline containing additives

that prevent the build-up of carbon depos-

its.

After an extended period of using fuels

without such additives, carbon deposits

can build up especially on the intake valves

and in the combustion area, leading to en-

gine performance problems such as:

Warm-up hesitation

Unstable idle

Knocking/pinging

Misfire

Power loss

In areas where carbon deposits may be en-

countered due to lack of availability of gas-

olines which contains these additives,

Mercedes-Benz recommends the use of

additives approved by us for use on

Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Refer to the

Factory Approved Service Products pam-

phlet (USA only) or contact an authorized

Mercedes-Benz Center of listing of ap-

proved product(s). Follow directions on

product label.

Do not blend other fuel additives with fuel.

This only results in unnecessary cost and

may be harmful to the engine operation.

Damage or malfunction resulting from poor

fuel quality or from blending additional fuel addi-

tives other than those tested and approved by us

for use on Mercedes-Benz vehicles are not cov-

ered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.

For a listing of approved products, refer to the

Factory Approved Service Products pamphlet

(USA only) or contact an authorized

Mercedes-Benz Center.
