Replace the oil filter when changing the oil. Use suction to withdraw spent oil
completely.
Ecofly will install an oil bleed screw upon request.
The difference between the maximum and minimum oil level amounts to about
0.5l.
Note: While topping up oil, ensure that the oil level NEVER exceeds the
max. level indicated on the dip stick.
Withdraw excess oil by suction if necessary.
The air-exhaust system of this engine is sensitive to excess oil; excessive oil
levels may even result in irreparable damage to the engine!
Minimum requirements:

Recommended:
Semi-synthetic or synthetic oils are recommended.
The best oils currently on the market are classified “SJ” (API).
The best oil you can use for this engine will meet the current Mercedes-Benz
Specification 229.3 (includes 229.1).
We cite an excerpt from MB Specification 229.3:
The viscosity class must be
selected according to the
