General notes
When handling engine oil, observe the important
safety notes on service products (
Y
page 381).
The quality of the engine oil is decisive for the
function and service life of an engine. Mercedes-
Benz continually approves engine oils based on
complex experiments according to the latest
technological standards.
Therefore, only Mercedes-Benz-approved
engine oils may be used in Mercedes-Benz
engines.
Further information on tested and approved
engine oils can be obtained from any Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you have the oil change carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop. Mercedes-
Benz approval is indicated on the oil container
by the inscription "MB-Freigabe" or "MB-
Approval" and the corresponding designation,
e.g. MB-Freigabe or MB-Approval 229.51.
You can call up an overview of approved engine
oils on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com by entering
the designation, e.g. 229.5.
The table shows which engine oils have been
approved for your vehicle.
You can find the correct values for your model
with the help of the VIN on the vehicle identifi-
cation plate (
Y
page 380).
Petrol engines: in certain countries, different
engine oils can be used, provided that the main-
tenance intervals are reduced. For more infor-
mation, please contact a qualified specialist
workshop.
