Additives
!
Do not use additives in engine oil. This
could damage the engine.
Engine oil viscosity
Viscosity describes the flow characteristics
of a fluid. If an engine oil has a high viscosity
rating, it flows slowly; the lower the viscosity,
the faster it flows.
Engine oil selection is based on the respective
outside temperatures and in accordance with
the SAE classification (viscosity). The table
below shows you which SAE classifications
are to be used. The low-temperature proper-
ties of engine oils can be significantly
impaired during operation due to, for exam-
ple, ageing or soot and fuel accretion. It is
therefore strongly recommended to observe
regular oil changes using an approved engine
oil with the appropriate SAE classification.
Brake fluid
G
WARNING
Over a period of time, the brake fluid absorbs
moisture from the air; This lowers its boiling
point.
If the boiling point of the brake fluid is too low,
vapour pockets may form in the brake system
when the brakes are applied hard (e.g. when
driving downhill). This impairs braking effi-
ciency.
You should have the brake fluid renewed at
regular intervals. The brake fluid change inter-
vals can be found in the Service Booklet.
Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes-
Benz. Information about approved brake flu-
ids can be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre or on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com

There is usually a notice in the engine
compartment to remind you when the next
brake fluid change is due.
