Engine oils

Engine oils are specifically tested for their 
suitability in our engines. Therefore, use 
only engine oils approved by 
Mercedes-Benz. Information on approved 
engine oils is available in the Factory 
Approved Service Products pamphlet, or at 
your authorized Mercedes-Benz Light 
Truck Center.

Engine oil additives

Do not blend oil additives with engine oil. 
They may damage the engine.

Damage or malfunctions resulting from 
blending oil additives are not covered by 
the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.

Air conditioning refrigerant

R-134a (HFC) refrigerant and special PAG 
lubricating oil is used in the air condition-
ing system.

Never use R-12 (CFC) or mineral-based lu-
bricating oil. Otherwise damage to the 
system will occur.

Brake fluid

During vehicle operation, the boiling point 
of the brake fluid is continuously reduced 
through the absorption of moisture from 
the atmosphere. Under extremely strenu-
ous operating conditions, this moisture 
content can lead to the formation of bub-
bles in the system, thus reducing the sys-
tem’s efficiency.

Therefore, the brake fluid must be re-
placed every two years, preferably in the 
spring.

Only brake fluid approved by 
Mercedes-Benz is recommended. Your au-
thorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck 
Center will provide you with additional in-
formation.

!

Always check the oil filler cap 
(

컄

page 221) for important information 

pertaining to the engine oil needing to 
meet a specific Mercedes-Benz specifi-
cation (e.g. MB 229.5). If such informa-
tion is printed on the oil filler cap, only 
use an engine oil from the list of ap-
proved engine oils in the Factory Ap-
proved Service Products pamphlet that 
meets the specification indicated on 
the oil filler cap.

Using engine oils of other specification 
may cause the FSS to incorrectly deter-
mine the next service interval and will 
result in engine damage not covered by 
the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
