an approved engine oil of the specified SAE
class.
Engine oil SAE classification
i
Only by using engine oil with a particularly
high quality grade, e.g. according to Sheet
number 228.51 of the MB Service Product
Specifications, can the maximum oil
change interval be achieved.
We recommend that you only add engine oil
of the same quality grade and SAE class as
used when the engine oil was last changed.
Further information can be obtained at any
qualified specialist workshop.
!
Do not add too much oil. adding too much
engine oil can result in damage to the
engine or to the catalytic converter. Have
excess engine oil siphoned off.
Miscibility of engine oils
If, in exceptional cases, oil of the type in the
engine is not available, top up using another
approved mineral or synthetic engine oil.
Engine oils are differentiated according to:
R
engine oil brand
R
quality grade (sheet number)
R
SAE class (viscosity)
Subsequently have the engine oil changed at
the earliest possible opportunity.
!
Mixing oils reduces the benefits of using
high grade engine oils.
i
The Sheet Number (quality grade) and the
SAE classification (viscosity) can be found
on the designation on the oil bottle.
