Oil approvals for Daimler Chrysler | Mercedes-Benz
Important!!! This is only a short description of Daimler Chrysler's engine oil approvals! To pin down the exact approval for your specific engine, check the car's documentation or contact your official Daimler Chrysler | Mercedes-Benz representative.
Engine oil approvals must be listed on the label alongside the viscosity information and the assigned API and ACEA classes. If the approval you need is not on the label, that oil simply does not have it, no matter what the salesperson tells you. Please note!
