Quality and capacity of engine oil
%
The containers of the various engine oils are
marked with the ACEA (Association of Euro‐
pean Automotive Manufacturers) and/or API
(America Petroleum Institute) classifications.
Only use approved engine oils that corre‐
spond to the MB Specifications for operating
fluids and the prescribed ACEA and/or API
classifications named below. Engine oils of
other grades are not permissible and can
result in the loss of the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. The use of other engine oils not
approved for diesel engines can damage the
diesel particulate filter (DPF).

* Recommended for lowest possible fuel con‐
sumption (lowest SAE viscosity class in each
case; observe possible restrictions of the
approved SAE viscosity classes).
To achieve the lowest possible fuel consumption,
it is recommended to use the engine oil specifica‐
tions marked in the table for the lowest SAE vis‐
cosity class. Observe any possible restrictions of
the approved SAE viscosity classes.
If the engine oils listed in the table are not availa‐
ble, you may add a maximum 1.1 US qt (1.0 liter)
of the following engine oils once only:
R
Vehicles with a gasoline engine: MB-Frei‐
gabe or MB-Approval 229.3 or ACEA A3/B4
R
Vehicles with a diesel engine: MB-Freigabe
or MB-Approval 228.5, 229.3 or 229.5
Multigrade engine oils of the prescribed SAE clas‐
sification (viscosity) may be used all year round,
taking the outside temperature into account.
Viscosity of the engine oil

NOTE Engine damage due to incorrect
SAE classification (viscosity) of the
engine oil
If the SAE classification (viscosity) of the
engine oil added is not suitable for prolonged
low outside temperatures, it may cause
engine damage.
The temperature readings of the SAE classifi‐
cation are always based on fresh oil. Engine
oil ages when driving as a result of soot and
fuel residue. The characteristics of engine oil
deteriorate significantly at low outside tem‐
peratures.
#
Use an engine oil of the appropriate SAE
classification at low outside tempera‐
tures.
#
Use oil for all-year-round operation.
The temperature readings of the SAE classifica‐
tion are always based on fresh oil. The tempera‐
ture characteristics of the engine oil, especially at
low outside temperatures, can deteriorate signifi‐
cantly due to aging when driving.
Therefore, Freightliner Sprinter recommends that
you change the engine oil before the start of the
cold season. Only use an approved engine oil in
the prescribed SAE classification for this pur‐
pose.
The viscosity indicates the flow characteristics of
a fluid. With regard to engine oil, a high viscosity
is synonymous with thick liquid and a low viscos‐
ity with thin liquid. Depending on the outside
temperatures, select the engine oil according to
the SAE classification (viscosity). The table shows
the SAE classifications to be used. The low tem‐
perature characteristics of engine oils can deteri‐
orate significantly during operation due to aging
and soot and fuel accretion, for example. A regu‐
lar oil change with an approved engine oil in the
appropriate SAE classification is therefore
strongly recommended.
