Additives
!

Do not use any additives in the engine oil.

This could damage the engine.

Engine oil viscosity

Viscosity describes the flow characteristics

of a fluid. If an engine oil has a high viscosity,

this means that it is thick; a low viscosity

means that it is thin.
Select an engine oil with an SAE classification

(viscosity) suitable for the prevailing outside

temperatures. The table shows you which

SAE classifications are to be used. The low-

temperature characteristics of engine oils

can deteriorate significantly, e.g. as a result

of aging, soot and fuel deposits. It is therefore

strongly recommended that you carry out reg-

ular oil changes using an approved engine oil

with the appropriate SAE classification.

Refrigerant of the air-conditioning

system

Important safety notes

Type of refrigerant
The climate control system of your vehicle is

filled with refrigerant R‑134a.
The instruction label regarding the refrigerant

type used can be found on the radiator cross

member.
Refrigerant R‑134a

!

Only the refrigerant R‑134a and the PAG

oil approved by Mercedes-Benz may be

used. The approved PAG oil may not be

mixed with any other PAG oil that is not

approved for R-134a refrigerant. Other-

wise, the climate control system may be

damaged.

Service work, such as topping-up refrigerant

or replacing components, may only be carried

out by a qualified specialist workshop. All

applicable regulations must be adhered to,

SAE standard J639 included.
Always have work on the climate control sys-

tem carried out at a qualified specialist work-

shop.
