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 
Approved Service Products pamphlet 
(USA only), or contact an authorized 
Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center.

Engine oil additives

Air conditioning refrigerant

R-134a (HFC) refrigerant and special PAG 
lubricating oil are used in the air condition-
ing system.

Brake fluid

Only brake fluid approved by 
Mercedes-Benz is recommended. Any 
authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck 
Center will provide you with additional 
information.

!

Using engine oils and oil filters of specifi-

cation 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 
damage not covered by the Mercedes-Benz 
Limited Warranty.

Please follow Maintenance System 
(U.S. vehicles) or FSS (Canada vehicles) 
recommendations for scheduled oil changes. 
Failure to do so will result in engine damage not 
covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited 
Warranty.

!

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.

!

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

lubricating oil. Otherwise damage to the system 
will occur.

Warning!

G

During vehicle operation, the boiling point of 

the brake fluid is continuously reduced 

through the absorption of moisture from the 

atmosphere. Under extremely strenuous 

operating conditions, this moisture content 

can lead to the formation of bubbles in the 

system, thus reducing the system’s 

efficiency.

Therefore, the brake fluid must be replaced 

regularly. Refer to your vehicle’s 

Maintenance Booklet for replacement 

interval.
