Engine Oil
Notes on Engine Oil
Observe the notes on operating fluids (/ page 349).
NOTE
Engine damage caused by an incorrect oil filter, incorrect oil or additives
- Do not use engine oils or oil filters other than those which meet the specifications necessary for the prescribed service intervals.
- Do not alter the engine oil or oil filter in order to achieve longer change intervals than prescribed.
- Do not use additives.
- Have the engine oil changed after the prescribed intervals?
Mercedes-Benz recommends having the oil changed at a qualified specialist workshop.
Only use engine oils approved for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz
Engine oil quality and filling capacity
Engine oil specification
| Model | MB-Freigabe or MB- Approval |
| All models | 229.51, 229.52,
229.61, 229.71, 229.721) |
| 1) Recommended for the lowest possible fuel consumption (lowest SAE viscosity class in each case; observe possible restrictions of the approved SAE viscosity classes) | |
To achieve the lowest possible fuel consumption, it is recommended to use the engine oil specifications marked in the table with the lowest SAE viscosity class. Observe any possible restrictions of the approved SAE viscosity classes.
Engine oil filling capacity
| Model Capacity | |
| E 350 | 7.0 US qt (6.6 liters) |
| E 350 4MATIC | 6.3 US qt (6.0 liters) |
| E 450 4MATIC | 9.0 US qt (8.5 liters) |
The specified filling capacity refers to an oil change with the oil filter.
Notes on brake fluid
WARNING
Risk of an accident due to vapor pockets forming in the brake system
The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture from the air. This lowers the boiling point of the brake fluid. If the boiling point is too low, vapor pockets may form in the brake system when the brakes are applied hard. This causes the braking effect to be impaired.
- Have the brake fluid renewed at the specified intervals?
Have the brake fluid regularly replaced at a qualified specialist workshop.
Only use a brake fluid approved by Mercedes-Benz according to MB-Freigabe or MB-Approval 331.0.
Coolant
Notes on coolant
Observe the notes on operating fluids (/ page 349).
WARNING
Risk of fire and injury from antifreeze
If antifreeze comes into contact with hot component parts in the engine compartment, it may ignite.
Allow the engine to cool down before adding antifreeze.
- Make sure that no antifreeze spills out next to the filler opening.
- Thoroughly clean off any antifreeze from component parts before starting the vehicle.
NOTE Damage caused by incorrect coolant
- Only use coolant that has been premixed with the required antifreeze protection.
Information on coolant is available at the following locations:
- In the Mercedes-Benz Specification for Operating Fluids 320.1
- At a qualified specialist workshop
NOTE Overheating at high outside temperatures
If an inappropriate coolant is used, the cooling system is not sufficiently protected against overheating and corrosion at high outside temperatures.
- Only use coolant approved for Mercedes-Benz.
- Observe the instructions in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Operating Fluids 320.1.
Have the coolant regularly replaced at a qualified specialist workshop.
Proportion of antifreeze concentrate in the cooling system:
- A minimum of 50% (antifreeze protection down to about -35°F (-37°C))
- A maximum of 55% (antifreeze protection down to -49°F (-45°C))
Coolant filling capacity
Engine cooling circuit (filling capacity with heating)
| Model | Capacity |
| E 450 4MATIC | 13.7 US qt (13.0 liters) |
| All other models | 14.8 US qt (14.0 liters) |
Notes on windshield washer fluid
WARNING
Risk of fire and injury from windshield washer concentrate
Windshield washer concentrate is highly flammable. It could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine component parts or the exhaust system.
- Make sure that no windshield washer concentrate spills out next to the filler opening.
NOTE
Damage to the exterior lighting due to unsuitable windshield washer fluid
Unsuitable windshield washer fluid may dam-age the plastic surface of the exterior lighting.
- Only use windshield washer fluid which is also suitable for use on plastic surfaces, e.g. MB SummerFit or MB WinterFit.
NOTE Blocked spray nozzles caused by mixing windshield washer fluids
- Do not mix MB Summer Fit and MB Winter Fit with other windshield washer flu-ids.
Do not use distilled or deionized water. Otherwise, the fill level sensor may be triggered erroneously.
Recommended windshield washer fluid:
- Above freezing point: e.g. MB SummerFit
- R Below freezing point: e.g. MB WinterFit
For the correct mixing ratio, refer to the information on the antifreeze container.
Mix washing water with windshield washer fluid all year round.
Refrigerant
Notes on refrigerant
Observe the notes on operating fluids (/ page 349).
NOTE Damage due to incorrect refrigerant
If a non-approved refrigerant is used, the cli-mate control system may be damaged.
-
- USA: use only R‑134a refrigerant.
- Canada: use only R‑1234yf refrigerant.
NOTE Damage to the climate control system due to incorrect refrigerant compressor oil
- Only use refrigerant compressor oil that has been approved by Mercedes-Benz.
- Do not mix the approved refrigerant compressor oil with a different refrigerant compressor oil.
Work on the climate control system may be car-ried out only at a qualified specialist workshop. All applicable regulations as well as SAE standard J639 must be adhered to.
The information label for the climate control system regarding the refrigerant type and the refrigerant compressor oil (PAG oil) is located on the inside of the hood.
Information label (example – USA)
