Technical data
You can obtain further information from
any authorized Sprinter Dealer.
We recommend that you only use engine
oil of the same quality grade and SAE class
as used when the engine oil was last
changed.
If for any reason the:
O engine oil brand
O quality grade (sheet number)
O SAE class (viscosity)
of the oil in the engine is not available, top
up using another, approved mineral or syn-
thetic engine oil
1
.
Subsequently have the engine oil changed
at the earliest possible opportunity.
! Mixing oils reduces the benefits of using
high grade engine oils.
i The MB sheet number (quality grade) and
the SAE classification (viscosity) can be found on
the designation on the oil container.
! There is a risk of damage to the engine or
the catalytic converter if there is excess oil in the
engine. Have excess oil siphoned off.
! If you are refueling the vehicle from drums
or canisters, you should filter the fuel before
adding it to the tank.
This will prevent malfunctions in the fuel system
caused by contaminated fuel.

Fuels
G Warning
Fuels are highly flammable and poisonous.
They burn violently and can cause serious in-
jury. Whenever you are around fuels, avoid in-
haling fumes and skin contact, extinguish all
smoking materials. Never allow sparks, flame
or smoking materials near fuels. Direct skin
contact with fuels and the inhalation of fuel
vapors are damaging to health.
Switch off the engine before refueling.
Always follow basic safety rules when work-
ing with any combustible material.
