Engine Oils
Engine oils are specifically tested
for their suitability in our engines.
Therefore, use only engine oils
recommended by us. Information on
recommended brands is available
at any MERCEDES-BENZ service
station.
A new or reconditioned engine is
filled with an initial operation oil
in the factory or in a MERCEDES-
BENZ service station. This oil is
specially developed for the specific
operating conditions during the
first 300-600 miles (500-1,000 km).
A recommended engine oil may be
used for topping up if the oil level
drops to the dipstick minimum mark
prior to the first service
300-600 miles (500-1,000 km).
