It is neither necessary nor permissible to
mix special additives with approved ser-
vice products (except for approved fuel ad-
ditives). Therefore, special additives must
not be mixed with fuels or lubricants. The
properties of the service products could be
adversely affected by special additives and
result in damage to the assemblies.
The vehicle operator is responsible at all
times for any use of special additives. The
use of special additives may result in a lim-
itation or an invalidation of your New Vehi-
cle Limited Warranty.
! Damage caused by the use of non-approved
service products is not covered by the New Vehi-
cle Limited Warranty.
! The containers of the various engine oils are
labeled with the ACEA (Association des Con-
structeurs Européens d'Automobiles) and/or
API (American petroleum Institute) classification
marks.
Use only approved engine oils that comply with
the Sprinter Specifications for Service Products
and official ACEA and/or API classifications. En-
gine oils with a different grade are not permitted
and may result in the loss of your New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Using other, non-approved engine oils in diesel
engines can damage the diesel particle filter
(DFP).

mind to avoid injury to yourself and others:
O do not inhale fumes. Make sure that en-
closed spaces are adequately ventilated
to prevent poisoning.

tact with the skin, eyes or clothing. If con-
tact is made with a service product, clean
the affected areas of skin with water and
soap to prevent burns and other injuries.
O rinse thoroughly with plenty of water in
case of contact with eyes. Consult a doc-
tor immediately if a service product is
swallowed.

products immediately to avoid the risk of
fire and other injuries.

fore prohibited when handling service

children.
O you must observe the notes on danger
concerning the risk of poisoning, acid

tainers.
