    M112 C320 2004 coupe mystery oil leak

    Hi all, I know this has probably been discussed already but I am stumped at my issue. I've noticed my C320 (m112), has been suffering from an oil leak (again 🙄). The first clue now thinking of it, was small puffs of white smoke coming through the air conditioning vents, creating the smell of...

    C320 V6 M112 shutting off randomly

    Thanks for reply. My only thought is would the car have stored codes if it isn't triggering the CEL? But yes ignition switch certainly could be causing this as its only an issue during start up period.. Glad you've ruled out alternator or CPS issue as that's 2 less things it's likely to be. I'm...

    C320 V6 M112 shutting off randomly

    Hi all, I purchased a 2004 C320 V6 3.2l Sports coupé with the M112 engine a few months ago with 50k miles, now has 52k on it. I love the car and is driving excellently, doesn't miss a beat. It also idles very smoothly and engine sounds very quiet so it seems mechanically, everything is as good...

    M112 C320 V6 engine oil 10w40

    I also called up the stealership Mercedes Benz of Leeds and they were trying to charge me nearly £200 to simply swap the oil out for the Petronas oil I've bought... Not even for a filter or anything that was just for the labour 😂

    M112 C320 V6 engine oil 10w40

    Hi all. Thank you, I appreciate the advice and recommendation I do it myself but I'm not confident enough to do the oil change especailly on the terrain of my driveway as its hilly and not flat enough to jack the car up 😕. Though I have bought the fully synthetic Petronas oil 5w-40 which is MB...

    M112 C320 V6 engine oil 10w40

    Baring in mind I've driven 120 miles since this service so if its been overfilled that can't be good for the car

    M112 C320 V6 engine oil 10w40

    If these readings don't change tomorrow I won't be driving the car until I get this sorted out. It's ridiculous. If they've overfilled it they're complete p**** who can't do their job properly.

    M112 C320 V6 engine oil 10w40

    I decided to check the oil level of the car through the computer and its suggesting that it has between 8.6 and 8.7 litres of oil in and it's only supposed to have up to 8!!!! It also said reduce engine oil. There have been no warning lights on the dash but if I found out they've overfilled the...

    M112 C320 V6 engine oil 10w40

    Halfords currently have the Petronas oil on offer so I will go with that just to be on the safe side. For future reference I will either make the 4 hour journey to my trusted mechanic in London or find a specialist who knows how to work on a proper merc 🤣. It's since I've relocated from London...

    M112 C320 V6 engine oil 10w40

    Exactly... I'll get my own oil and just get a garage to put it in. Already had the filer and everything changed at the last place so it will just be that oil out then 5w-40 in..

    I mean this is my third car already lol. But I will be keeping this one as its so rare and everything!

    M112 C320 V6 engine oil 10w40

    Noted, I will do. I honestly thought they'd be alright I've used them before but not for servicing... But the guy I spoke to didn't seem to have a clue. I don't think I will leave the oil in there for long, I will get some 5w40 put in.

    M112 C320 V6 engine oil 10w40

    This is what I mean.. I don't get it. Some websites say I can use some oils and others say I can't 🤯. I'm only 20 years old so I do drive an odd car for someone my age, this is too complicated for my young mind lacking the MB knowledge 😂

    M112 C320 V6 engine oil 10w40

    I honestly am not sure. I'm at work at the moment so I'll have to check that when I get home. All I know though from looking at previous service records, is that from new, the previous owner mostly had Mobil 1 super synthetic 5w-40 oil put in. It also says vastly online that you can use mobil 1...

    The issue is I'm living no where near the garage atm so it would be more than what it's worth to go all the way back 🙄

    M112 C320 V6 engine oil 10w40

    IMPORTANT UPDATE** this is the oil they claim to have put in the car. "THE PRODUCT OUR SUPPIER HAS SUPPLIED US WITH IS CALLED NAPA 10W40 SEMI SYNTHETIC PREMIUM OIL (TT211S5L)" Can someone please tell me if this meets the Mercedes numbered spec.

    M112 C320 V6 engine oil 10w40

    It's just very difficult to know what to believe, when everyone seems to disagree or have different opinions. Especailly seeing as I don't know a great deal about this engine other than its said to be very reliable, as I've only just got the car.

    M112 C320 V6 engine oil 10w40

    That's fine if that's the case, I mean as long as its not going to damage my engine and it will keep it running at optimal condition I don't really care what oil it is to be honest
