Mercedes-Benz 2013 GLS Class - Manual (Page 412)

Assuring the purity of AdBlue ® is particularly
important with respect to avoiding malfunc-
tions in the BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreat-
ment system.
If AdBlue
® is pumped out of the AdBlue ® tank,
e.g. during repair work, do not use this fluid
to refill the tank. The purity of the fluid can no
longer be guaranteed.

General notes
Comply with the important safety notes for
service products when handling engine oil
(
Y page 405).
The quality of the engine oil is decisive for the
function and service life of an engine. After
extensive tests, Mercedes-Benz approves
engine oils that correspond to the current
technical standard.
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 recommends that you have the oil
change carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop. Mercedes-Benz approval is indica-
ted on the oil container by the inscription "MB
Approval" and the corresponding designa-
tion, e.g. MB Approval 229.51.

engine oils on the Internet at:
