Engine Oils
Engine oils are specifically tested for
their suitability in our engines.
Therefore, use only engine oils
recommended by Mercedes-Benz.
Information on recommended brands is
available at your authorized Mercedes-
Benz dealer.
Air Conditioner Refrigerant
Ozone-friendly HFC-134a refrigerant
and special lubricating oil is used in the
air conditioner system.
Never use R-12 (CFC) or 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 hard operating conditions,
this moisture content can lead to the
formation of bubbles in the system thus
reducing the system's efficiency.
The brake fluid must therefore be
replaced every two years, preferably
in the spring.
It is recommended to use only brake
fluid approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Your authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer
will provide you with additional
information.
Premium Unleaded Gasoline
Caution!
To maintain the engine's durability and
performance, premium unleaded
gasoline must be used. If premium
unleaded is not available and low

precautions:

partially with unleaded regular and
fill up with premium unleaded as
soon as possible,
avoid full throttle driving and
abrupt acceleration,
do not exceed an engine speed of
3000 rpm, if the vehicle is loaded
with a light load such as two persons
