MY-All, Models All with Spark Ignition Engine

Use of E10 Fuel

All Mercedes-Benz vehicles and Maybach, and AMG with spark-ignition engines can be run on E10 fuel.

Exceptions are all models produced at the factory without a controlled 3-way catalytic converter or models equipped with a carburetor. These are generally older than 25 years.

The following table lists all models that may not be operated with a bioethanol admixture of more than 5%. These models must always be run on gasoline of the grade "Premium or Super Plus sulfur-free as per DIN EN228 (2208 - 2011) or E DIN 51626-1 and other ISO or ASTM standards" or a comparable quality with the special designation "Contains up to 5% bioethanol".

MODELS THAT MAY NOT BE OPERATED WITH A BIOETHANOL ADMIXTURE OF MORE THAN 5%

NOTE: Mercedes-Benz and Maybach vehicles may only be filled with standard fuel qualities (DIN/EN specification). The octane number recommendation (RON) for the particular engine type or age of the vehicle must be taken into consideration.

NOTE: Grades to use are identified on gasoline pumps as: "Contains up to 5% bioethanol". The RON grade that is available as an E5 is at the discretion of the fuel provider.
