Turn cap : counter-clockwise and remove
it.
X
Add the amount of oil required.
Observe the specifications in the on-board
computer when doing so or fill carefully to the
maximum mark on the oil dipstick.
i
Vehicles with a dipstick: the difference in
quantity between the MIN mark and the
MAX mark on the dipstick is (depending on
the engine) approximately 1.6 to
2.1 US qt (1.5 to 2 l).
i
AMG vehicles with 8-cylinder engines: the
difference in quantity between the MIN
mark and the MAX mark on the dipstick is
approximately 1.6 US qt (1.5 l).
!
Do not add too much oil. If the oil level is
above the "max" mark on the dipstick, too
much oil has been added. This can lead to
damage to the engine or the catalytic
converter. Have excess oil siphoned off.

is above 158 ‡ (70 †). Allow the engine to
cool down before removing the cap. The
