Technical data
Valid MB oil specification sheets for your
vehicle:
O 228.51
O 229.31
O 229.51
They are of a high quality standard and
have a beneficial effect on:
O engine wear
O fuel consumption
O emissions
Multi-grade engine oils of the prescribed
SAE class (viscosity) may be used all year
round. Make sure that you always take the
outside temperatures into account.
i The oil change intervals may be shortened
depending on the sulfur content of the fuel. Ob-
serve the details in your Maintenance Booklet.
Select the SAE class (viscosity) of the en-
gine oil in accordance with the outside
temperature.
! If the SAE viscosity class of the engine oil
used does not cover the outside temperature
range in which you are operating the vehicle, it
must be changed in good time, in particular be-
fore the cold season commences. Using an en-
gine oil that does not have adequate
temperature characteristics can lead to engine
damage.
The temperature range information of the SAE
classification always refers to that of fresh oil.
The temperature characteristics of the engine oil
may deteriorate significantly due to aging in op-
eration especially at low outside temperatures.
For this reason, we recommend that the engine
oil be changed before the cold season com-
mences. Use an approved engine oil of the spec-
ified SAE class.
i The maximum oil change interval can only
be achieved using oils of a particularly high qual-
ity grade.
