Fuel sulphur content table
The following overview specifies the current country-specific sulphur content of fuel in diesel
fuel in percent by weight (% by weight).
You can find a continually updated table of fuel sulphur contents in specific countries in the
Mercedes-Benz Specification for Service Products, Sheets 136.1 and 136.2 at http://
bevo.mercedes-benz.com.
Countries that are mentioned more than once offer different fuel grades with varying fuel
sulphur contents in parallel. No information is available for countries that are not listed.
The maintenance intervals for engine oil and filter replacement must be adapted depending
on the fuel grade used. The higher the sulphur content in diesel fuel, the shorter the mainte-
nance intervals for engine oil and filter replacement. Observe the notes in the Maintenance
Booklet.
