oil

Hi all, My first post ever here, so apologies if not posted under the right thread, sub-thread. Please feel free to move. I am an owner of a GLA 200 Sport - 2020 - Petrol - M282 Engine. Bought as used from Mercedes Bristol in 2023. Currently has about 33k miles and is about 5 years old. Annual...

Hey all, I'm wondering what is the best oil or what MB spec to choose for my W203 Sports Coupe C200 CDI OM646 year 2003. It's going on around 165000 miles. I've read elsewhere that mb 229.52 is good but that's mainly for DPF. Mine doesn't have DPF so I'm wondering if there's any other oil grade...

Good morning everyone, my name is Facundo. Nice to connect with all of you! I wanted to see if you could help me with an issue. I have a 2000 C220 CDI (W202), which is mixing oil with water. I wanted to know if someone can guide me on how to solve this problem. Does this engine has an...

Hi guys first time posting, hope you're well. I have an oil leak coming from my 2008 E320 cdi. It's somewhere at the front top of the engine bay but unsure where. It's leaking onto the rubber pipes below, undertray and onto the left side of the fan housing. I've also noticed a hose that's got a...

From my research, the fluid should follow this specification: MB 345.0 A001 989 24 03 If that is the case, this liquid should be good?: https://www.autodoc24.ro/febi-bilstein/1879380 Also, any tips on the procedure? Can this be done at home? Thanks!

Hello! I hope you all have a happy new year! I have (W203 C230 Sport 2007 V6 M272). I changed the engine oil + filter three weeks ago. The car takes 8L and I applied precisely 8L. After two weeks, I noticed: Some oil in the coolant reservoir Some steam smoke from the hood of the car where the...

Hi, Hope this isn't a daft question, but I see from the handbook that there is more than one viscosity of oil suitable for my CLK 270 CDI. I happen to have 10 litres of 5w30 that meets the correct M-B spec, but it's in the back of my mind that maybe after 100k miles I should be using a higher...

Hi there, my van has oil in the water mixture. It aslo has a bit of an oil leak. Not sure they are related. The van pulls well in all gears and the garage told me it has good compression compressio and I have done one of those home chemical tests and it showed no issues. I found out from...

Hi, recently bought a 55amg and the car has just flashed up saying 'add 1L of oil. I don't always trust the computer readings on cars - the petrol ones have caught me out before. I can't find a dip stick anywhere and online searches don't show me too much. Is there a hidden dip stick or do I...

Greetings everyone, I have a question regarding motor oil. I have a Mercedes-Benz C220 (W203) year 2001, Diesel, Automatic and it has 296,000 km (mileage) - I searched on Mobil1 official web site and used their search criteria based on my car's information and the site recommended 0W-40 Mobil 1...

Hi Folks, My 2005 E270 is currently on just under 150,000 miles, and to my knowledge has never had the gearbox oil changed. My understanding is this should be done every 70k or so. I've spoken to Coverdale in Newton Abbot about getting it done. They tell me that aside from main dealers they...

I have a slight oil leak at the edge of the radiator on my 2005 c180 Kompressor which I only bought a couple of months ago. Didn't see the leak for the underpan till later. I have ordered a new radiator, gearbox filter and seal also new dipstick. I also have problems with the heater. I flushed...

Hi, Since having my car recently serviced I have had the warning light on saying ‘Engine oil level, stop vehicle, switch engine off’. I have had the sensor changed by a local garage and oil level checked, but it still has the same fault. It does not come on immediately when starting the car but...

Actually I have two questions relating to oil: Is 1 litre per 4000 miles within acceptable limits? What temperature should oil be running at? Mine varies, when warmed up, between 95c and 105c in traffic whilst the coolant is fairly stable. I have noticed that after running for around 20...

Hi all, I changed the oil and filter out of my C class last week. On resetting the service indicator it asked me to advice what quality of oil i had put in, it offered 3 qualitys, "normal" (i think), 229.3 or 229.5. I selected 229.5 as that was the spec added on the change. To my suprise on...
