Mercedes-Benz GL-Class: Adding engine oil
Environmental note
When adding oil, take care not to spill any. If
oil enters the soil or waterways, it is harmful
to the environment.
WARNING
If engine oil comes into contact with hot
engine parts, it may ignite and you could burn
yourself. Do not spill any engine oil on hot
engine parts.
Use only engine oils and oil filters that
have been approved for vehicles equipped
with a service system. A list of the engine
oils and oil filters tested and approved in
accordance with the Mercedes-Benz
Specifications for Service Products can be
called up by visiting http://
www.mbusa.com (USA only). More
information about tested and approved
engine oils and oil filters is available from
any authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Damage to the engine or exhaust system is caused by the following:
• using engine oils and oil filters which
have not been specifically approved for
the service system.
• replacing the engine oil or oil filter
after
the replacement interval required by the
service system has elapsed
• using engine oil additives.
Example: engine oil cap
► Turn cap 1 counter-clockwise and remove
it.
► Add the amount of oil required.
Fill carefully to the maximum mark on the oil dipstick.
Depending on the engine, the difference
in quantity between the MIN mark and the
MAX mark on the dipstick is approximately
1.6 to 2.1 US qt (1.5 to 2 l).
Do not add too much oil. If the oil level is
above the "max" mark on the dipstick, too
much oil has been added. This can lead to damage to the engine or the catalytic
converter. Have excess oil siphoned off.
For further information on engine oil, see.
► Replace cap 1 on the filler neck and tighten clockwise.
Ensure that the cap locks into place securely.
Checking the oil level using the oildipstick
When checking the oil level:
• park the vehicle on a level surface.
• the engine should be switched off for
approximately five minutes if the engine is
at normal operating temperature.
