1.3 Fuels and lubricants
1.3.1 Engine oil
1.3.1.1 Oil quality
The following engine oil specifications are permitted:
n Engine oils acc. to Mercedes-Benz operating instructions sheet
no. 228.5 or 228.51
The list of approved engine oils is also available on the Internet
under the following address:
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com/
Avoid mixing engine oils.
1.3.1.2 Oil viscosity
Since engine oil changes its viscosity with the temperature, the
ambient temperature at the operating location of the engine is of
utmost importance when choosing the viscosity class (SAE-class).
Only use multi-purpose oils.
The temperature data of the SAE-class always refer to fresh oils.
The engine oil ages during travel operation because of soot and
fuel residues. This adversely affects the properties of the engine
oil, especially at low ambient temperatures.
Optimal operating conditions can be achieved by using the oil vis-
cosity chart as reference.
1.3.1.3 Oil change intervals
If the oil change intervals are not reached over a period of 2 years,
the oil change should be performed at least every 2 years, irre-
spective of the operating hours reached.
1.3.2 Fuel
1.3.2.1 Fuel quality
In order to fulfil the regulations of the exhaust gas legislation,
diesel engines equipped with an exhaust gas aftertreatment
system, must only be operated with sulphur-free diesel fuel.
The following fuel specifications are permitted:
n
EN 590
n ASTM D975 Grade-No. 1-D S15 and 2-D S15
