The following engine oils are approved:
R
Sheet No. 228.5 / 228.3 / 228.1 standard
quality multi-grade engine oils
R
Sheet No. 228.51 / 228.31 low-ash multi-
grade engine oils
R
Sheet No. 228.0 / 228.2 standard quality
single-grade engine oils
R
Sheet No. 225.6 multi-grade engine oils,
initial operation oils
! Engine oils of a different quality grade are
not permissible and may damage the
engine.
Mercedes-Benz particularly recommends
engine oils that comply with Sheet No. 228.5
or Sheet no 228.51 of the Mercedes-Benz
Specification for Service Products.
These engine oils are of a high standard of
quality and have a beneficial effect on:
R
engine wear
R
fuel consumption
R
exhaust emissions
The maximum interval for oil change is only
achieved with engine oils of a particularly high
quality grade.
i You can find information on the quality
grade, e.g. Sheet No. 228.51, and the vis-
cosity, e.g. SAE class 5W-30, from the des-
ignation on the oil container.
Scope of application
For engines in vehicles/equipment and for
operation with diesel fuel, only use multi-
grade engine oils compliant with Sheet
Nos. 228.5, 228.51, 228.3 and 228.31 or in
exceptional cases single-grade engine oils
compliant with Sheet No. 228.2.
For engines without BlueTec
®
exhaust gas
aftertreatment, multi-grade oils compliant
with Sheet No. 228.1, and in exceptional
cases single-grade oils compliant with Sheet
No. 228.0, can also be used.
For vehicles/equipment operated with FAME
fatty acid methyl ester fuel (bio-diesel fuel),
use only engine oils compliant with Sheet
Nos. 228.5, 228.51, 228.3 and 228.31
(
Y
page 53).
This is also required for a mixture of conven-
tional diesel fuels and FAME fatty acid methyl
ester fuels (bio-diesel fuel).
Multi-grade engine oils compliant with Sheet
Nos. 228.5, 228.51, 228.3, 228.31 and
228.1 can be used all year round. Depending
on the fuel quality (fuel sulphur content or
FAME fatty acid methyl ester fuel), the oil
change intervals may be shortened. For
details, see the Maintenance Booklet.
Single-grade engine oils only cover an SAE
(viscosity) classification for certain tempera-
ture ranges. Change the engine oil to an SAE
class suitable for the time of year and the
respective outside temperatures.
The use of low-ash engine oils is permitted
but only necessary on engines with a particle
filter. When low-ash engine oils compliant
with Sheet Nos. 228.51 and 228.31 are used,
a low-sulphur diesel fuel (less than 50 ppm,
0.005% by weight) should be used.
Oil change
Oil change intervals are dependent on the fol-
lowing:
R
the operating conditions of the vehicle
R
the grade of the engine oil used
R
the fuel grade (sulphur content)
R
the fuel type, e.g. FAME fatty acid methyl
ester fuel
For more details, see the Maintenance Book-
let.
! If you do not use oil for all-year-round
operation in your engine, change the
engine oil right at the beginning of the cold
season. Use only an approved engine oil in
the specified SAE classification.
If the SAE class (viscosity) of the engine oil
used is not suitable for continually low out-
side temperatures below −20 †, this could
cause engine damage.
