Engine Oils

Engine oils are specifically testedfor their suitability in our engines.Therefore, use only engine oilsrecommended by Mercedes-Benz.Information on recommended

brands is available at yourauthorized Mercedes-Benz dealer.

Brake

During vehicle operation, theboiling point of the brake fluid iscontinuously reduced through theabsorption of moisture from theatmosphere. Under extremely hard

operating conditions, this moisturecontent can lead to the formationof bubbles in the system thusreducing the systems efficiency.

The brake fluid must therefore bereplaced every two years, prefer-ably in the spring.

It is recommended to use onlybrake fluid approved by Mercedes-Benz. Your authorized Mercedes-

Benz dealer will provide you withadditional information.

Premium Unleaded Gasoline

Caution!

To maintain the engines durabilityand performance, premium un-leaded gasoline must be used. If

premium unleaded is not availableand low octane fuel is used, followthese precautions:

l have the fuel tank filled onlypartially with unleaded regularand fill up with premium un-leaded as soon as possible,

l avoid full throttle drivingabrupt acceleration,

and

l do not exceed an engine speed

of 3000 rpm, if the vehicle isloaded with a light load such astwo persons and no luggage,

l do not exceed of maximumaccelerator pedal position, if thevehicle is fully loaded or operat-ing in mountainous terrain.

Fuel Reauirements The ratio of Methanol to gasoline

Use only Premium unleadedmeetina ASTM standard D 439:

must not exceed 3% plusadditional cosolvents.

The number (posted at the Using mixtures of Ethanol and

pump) must be 91 min. It is an Methanol is not allowed. Gasohol,

average of both, the Research (R)

octane number and the Motor (M) 90% unleaded gasoline, can beoctane number: + This used.

is also known as ANTI-KNOCK These blends must also meet allINDEX. other fuel requirements such as

Unleaded gasoline containing resistance knock, boiling

oxvaenates such as Ethanol, range, vapor pressure etc..

TBA can be useded the ratio of any one of theseoxygenates to gasoline does notexceed 1 MTBE not to exceed

15%.

Gasoline Additives

A major concern among enginemanufacturers is carbon build upcaused by gasoline. Mercedes-Benz recommends to use onlyquality gasoline containing

additives that prevent the build upof carbon deposits.

After an extended period of usingfuels without such additives,carbon deposits can build upespecially on the intake valvesand in the combustion area,leading to engine performanceproblems such as:

l warm-up hesitation,

l unstable idle,l knocking/pinging,

misfire,power loss.

Do not blend other specific fueladditives with fuel. They onlyresult in unnecessary cost, andmay be harmful to the engineoperation.

Damage or malfunctions resultingfrom poor fuel quality or fromblending specific fuel additives arenot covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.

Coolants

The engine coolant is a mixture ofwater andfreeze, which provides:

corrosion protection

freeze protectionl boiling protection (by increasingthe boiling point).

The cooling system was filled atthe factory with a coolant provid-ing freeze protection to approx.

F (-30 C) and corrosionprotection.

The coolant solution must be usedyear round to provide the neces-sary corrosion protection and in-crease in the boil-over protection.You should have it replaced every3 years.

To provide the important corrosionprotection, the solution must beat least 45%freeze (equals a freezeto approx. F If youuse a solution that is more than55% anticorrosion/antifreeze

(freeze protection to approx.-49F the engine tem-perature will increase due to the

lower heat transfer capability ofthe solution. Therefore, do not usemore than this amount ofanticorrosion/antifreeze.

If the coolant level is low, waterand MB anticorrosion/antifreeze

should be used to bring it up tothe proper level (have coolingsystem checked for signs ofleakage).

The water in the cooling systemmust meet minimum requirements,which are usually satisfied bynormal drinking water. If you arenot sure about the water quality,consult your authorizedMercedes-Benz dealer.

Anticorrosion/antifreeze

Your vehicle contains a number ofaluminum parts. The use ofaluminum components in motorvehicle engines necessitates thatanticorrosion/antifreeze coolantused in such engines be specifi-cally formulated to protect thealuminum parts. (Failure to use

such anticorrosion/antifreezecoolant will result in a significantlyshortened service life.)

Therefore the following product isstrongly recommended for use inyour car: Mercedes-Benz

Anticorrosion/Antifreeze Agent.

Before the start of the winterseason (or once a year in the hot

southern regions), you shouldhave the anticorrosion/antifreezeconcentration checked. Thecoolant is also regularly checkedeach time you bring your vehicleto your authorized Mercedes-Benzdealer for maintenance service.
