FACTORY APPROVED SERVICE PRODUCTS
Attached is a current listing (as of Jan. ) of factory-approved service products which are presently available in the U.S.A or Canada. It will be
revised periodically to add or delete products according to the latest information received from the factory.
We recommend that only approved service products be used in Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Engine Oil
APPROVED ENGINE OILS
IMPORTANT:
Engine oils are labeled on the container with various ACEA (Association des Constructeurs Europeens d'Automobiles) and/or API (American
Petroleum Institute) designations of quality. Mercedes Benz recommends the use of engine oils which meet ACEA or API classifications. If an
ACEA quality engine oil is not available, then an API quality engine oil should be used. Only engine oils (including synthetic and/or recycled
engine oil) with any of the following classification grade, or combinations thereof, are approved:
Engine ACEA classification API classification
Gasoline A2 SH
A3 SJ
Diesel B2 CF-4
B3 CG-4
Always refer to the viscosity grade charts in the Owner's Manual or below for the proper viscosity grade based on ambient temperature.
Note: The chart (see image) supersedes ALL previously published viscosity charts.
Select oil viscocity according to the lowest air temperature expected before the next oil change using the chart below (image).

1. Gasoline Engines
Reformulated gasolines (RFG) and/or unleaded gasoline containing oxygenates such as Ethanol, TAME, ETBE, IPA, IBA and TBA can be used
provided that the ratio of any one of these oxygenates to gasoline does not exceed 10 percent. MTBE may be added up to 15 percent. The ratio of
Methanol to gasoline must not exceed 3% plus additional co-solvents.
Mixtures of Ethanol and Methanol must not be used. Gasohol, which contains 10% Ethanol and 90% unleaded gasoline, can also be used. These
blends must also meet all other fuel requirements such as resistance to spark knock, boiling range, vapor pressure, etc.
Gasoline Additives
A major concern among engine manufacturers is carbon build-up caused by gasoline. MERCEDES-BENZ recommends to use only quality gasoline
containing additives that prevent the build up of carbon deposits.
After an extended period of using fuels without such additives, carbon deposits can build up, especially on the intake valves and in the combustion
area, leading to engine performance problems such as:
- warm-up hesitation,
- unstable idle,
- knocking pinging.
- misfire,
- power loss.
DO NOT blend other fuel additives with the fuel. These additional additives only result in unnecessary cost and may be harmful to engine operation.
Damages or malfunctions resulting from poor fuel quality or from blending additional fuel additives are not covered by the MERCEDES-BENZ
Limited Warranty.
For model year 1986, all gasoline models except 190 E 2.3 require premium unleaded gasoline.
As of model year 1987, all gasoline engines require premium unleaded gasoline
Use only premium unleaded gasoline meeting ASTM standard D439. The octane number posted at the pump must be at least 91 min. In the U.S.,
this octane number is an average of the Research octane number (R) and the Motor octane number (M): (R + M) / 2. The octane number is also
known as the Anti-Knock Index.
CAUTION! To maintain the engine's durability and performance, only premium unleaded gasoline is to be used. If premium unleaded is not
available and low octane gasoline is used, follow these precautions:
- Partially fill the fuel tank with unleaded regular gasoline and fill up with premium unleaded gasoline as soon as possible.
- Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration.
Do not exceed an engine speed of rpm if the vehicle has a light load (two occupants and no luggage for example).
Do not exceed 2/3 of maximum accelerator pedal position if the vehicle is fully loaded or operating in mountainous terrain.
Model years 1975 - 1985 and model year 1986 model 190 E 2.3
Use unleaded regular gasoline meeting ASTM standard D439. The octane number posted at the pump must be at least 87 min.
Model years 1972 - 1974
Use leaded or unleaded~gasoline meeting ASTM standard D439. The octane number posted at the pump must be at least 87 min. When only
unleaded gasoline is being used, check the valve clearance on engines with mechanically adjustable valves at half the recommended interval.
Pre-model year 1972
Mercedes Benz C 43 AMG (202.033) V8-4.3L (113.944) Page 206
Use premium unleaded gasoline meeting ASTM standard D439. The octane number posted at the pump must be at least 91 min. Check the valve
clearance at half the recommended interval.
2. Diesel Engines
Use only commercially available vehicular diesel fuel number 2 or number 1 (ASTM D975 Number 2-D or Number 1-D).
For information on cold weather operation, refer to the vehicle Owner's Manual or Service Information MBNA 00/7 (11-82).
