Adding engine oil
WARNING
If engine oil comes into contact with hot
engine parts, it may ignite and you could burn
yourself. Do not spill any engine oil on hot
engine parts.
Environmental note
When adding oil, take care not to spill any. If
oil enters the soil or waterways, it is harmful
to the environment.
Use only engine oils and oil filters that
have been approved for vehicles equipped
with a service system. A list of the engine
oils and oil filters tested and approved in
accordance with the Mercedes-Benz
Specifications for Service Products can be
called up by visiting http://www.mbusa.com (USA only). More
information about tested and approved
engine oils and oil filters is available from
any authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Damage to the engine or exhaust system is
caused by the following:
- using engine oils and oil filters which
have not been specifically approved for
the service system.
- replacing the engine oil or oil filter after
the replacement interval required by the
service system has elapsed
- using engine oil additives.
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.
Example: engine oil cap
– Turn cap 1 counterclockwise and remove
it.
– Add engine oil.
If the oil level is at or below the MIN mark
on the oil dipstick,
add 0.55 to 1.1 US qt (0.5 to 1.0 l) engine
oil.
– Replace cap 1 on the filler neck and turn
clockwise.
Ensure that the cap locks into place
securely.
– Check the oil level again with the oil
dipstick.
