Scope oil / viscosity grade
Since the application of neighboring SAE classes coincide, short term fluctuations in temperature should not be taken into account. Permissible to mix oils of different viscosity grades, if the topping is done once and the outside temperature does not correspond to a large class of viscosity of oil is in the engine. For petrol engines with class suitable motor oil specifications API-SF and SG, and for diesel engines - API-CD. European oil producers even further asked CCMC-specifications, which take into account European technology and the manufacture of engines is becoming increasingly important. Oils for gasoline engines in SSMS designated from Class G1 to G5. For petrol engines from Mercedes prescribes as a minimum standard SSMS-G4 for multigrade oils; SSMS-G5 refers to a free flowing, low viscosity oils. These standards correspond approximately to API-specification SG, further meeting the European requirements. For diesel engines P suitable motor oil classification API-CE and CF-4, and for gasoline - API-SF and SG. Oils for gasoline engines in SSMS designated from Class G1 to G5. Diesel engine oils for passenger cars contained in the specification SSMS - D4, D5 and high specification SSMS-PD2, SSMS-D4 corresponds approximately to API-CE; CCMC D5 similarly-API-CF-4. For normal operation of the car enough to use engine oil SSMS-D4. High-grade oil D5 and PD4 can also be used at any time. In principle is the use of essential oils SSMS standard specification API CE and CF-4. In each case, guided by the principle of the use of motor oil recommended by Mercedes-Benz (indicated on the canister with oil).
