W212 350 Sport 60k miles. Noticed that the oil level is too high on the dipstick (awkward thing to use, how did they design that?) Using my oil extraction pump I removed about 1 1/2 litres to get it down to the high mark. Wonder whether its been overfilled or is it possible that diesel has got...

Hi Guys, A friend of mine is looking at buying a C220 and has recently test drove one he likes. However, he was concerned about oil/coolant temps? Does anyone have a rough idea of what he should expect? I suggested around 80 degrees for coolant and maybe 90-100 for the oil? Any...

Want to do a mid service oil and filter change on my facelift C63 AMG, I'm new to these cars and just want to confirm I'm using a suitable oil. I'm looking at using a Mercedes Oil Filter and Castrol Edge Titanium 5W-40 (I have always preferred 5W-40 in my Audi S4 and have never had any issues...

Driven my c63 10 miles back from a service and the oil seems filthy. My experience of fresh oil changes is its a golden brown colour. The attatched pic is a dab of fresh mobil 1 and the other dab is my "freshly renewed "Mobil 1 oil. Does this seem right ?I would welcome your opinions. Thanks

Hi folks. I'm new to Mercedes but pretty experienced with car mtce and stuff. I want to change the oil on my car and have no real issues with getting under to remove under tray and sump plug but fancy using an oil extractor from the top. As you will all know this car (pre-facelift)...

Hello all, As you are probably aware the c32 has no dip stick. I have a free ramp I can use tomorrow and was wondering what the correct amount of oil was. Or I guess I could just ring Mercedes tomorrow. Thanks Ryan
