Recommended lubricants and fluids
Attention! Keep children away from operational materials - if they enter the body of a child, immediately consult a doctor!
Note. Only use materials recommended by Mercedes-Benz - they are listed in the specific company guidelines. You can get help on this issue at the service station. The use of approved operating materials is an integral part of the warranty.
Type and fluids
Fuel
Petrol models | Unleaded gasoline is not worse than AI95 / A85. Short-term use of unleaded gasoline is allowed not worse than AI91 / A82.5 (the power developed by the engine decreases slightly, fuel consumption increases). |
Attention! The use of fuel additives is fraught with premature wear and damage to internal engine components!
Diesel models
Summer and winter diesel fuel
Attention! Do not use ship, boiler, etc. diesel fuel!
Note. When using diesel fuel with increased (over 0.5%) sulfur content above, change the engine oil every 7500 km.
Winter fuel ensures normal engine performance at temperatures down to -20°C.
Thanks to the pre-heating of the fuel when the interior heating system is on, trouble-free operation of the engine is guaranteed at outdoor temperatures down to -25°C.
Attention! Do not mix gasoline with diesel fuel!
In the case of using summer diesel fuel, as well as at outside air temperatures below -15°C, a certain amount of flow improver or kerosene, depending on the outside temperature, must be added to the fuel.
Composition of the mixture
Outside temperature°C | -15 to -23 | -23 to -30 |
Summer diesel fuel | 80% | 50% |
Outside temperature | °С -25 to -30 | -30 to -35 |
Winter diesel fuel | 80% | 50% |
Kerosene | 20% | 50% |
Flow improvers can also be used in combination with kerosene.
A certificate of approved flow improvers can be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz workshop.
The proportion of the additive content, taking into account the outside temperature, should be minimal.
The proportion of kerosene in the mixture should be no more than 50%.
The additive must be added to the fuel at the time of refueling before it thickens and releases paraffin. Faults due to waxing can only be eliminated by heating the entire power system.
Mix diesel fuel with kerosene only in the fuel tank - first, kerosene is poured into the tank, then diesel fuel is added. In conclusion, let the engine run for some time to distribute the mixture throughout the entire path of the power system.
Warning! Kerosene additives lower the flash point of the diesel fuel, which increases the fire hazard of the mixture! Observe the relevant safety regulations!
