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 PLUS (Cana-

da vehicles). For a listing of approved en-

gine oils and oil filters, refer to the Factory

Approved Service Products pamphlet, or

contact 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 condition-

ing system.

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

bricating 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. Your au-

thorized Mercedes-Benz Center will pro-

vide you with additional information.

Using engine oils and oil filters of

specification other than those expressly re-

quired for the Maintenance System

(U.S. vehicles) or FSS PLUS (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 PLUS (Canada ve-

hicles) will result in engine 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 damage not covered by

the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.

Warning!

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.
