Service intervals to model year ►2013
Caution
Applies only to diesel engines
• In some countries, diesel has a higher sulphur content.
• The high sulphur content leads to excessive wear of cyl‐
inders and it considerably reduces the cleanliness of pis‐
tons.
♦ Therefore change engine oil every 7,500 km in countries
where the diesel has a high sulphur content.
Note
♦
For extremely uneconomical driving style or use under ex‐
, the shortest interval for an oil
change service is “7,500 km or 1 year”.
♦
However, other intervals apply for other countries. Your im‐
porter will inform you about this.
