Advice needed,can I use the same as my car 5w30 viscosity?

I don't think these cars came with an LSD as stock. What oil should be used to replace what is in the diff please? Thanks,

I changed the oil some time ago 97 C180 722.6 5 speed however not sure that i have the correct dip stick , mine has 2 brass ferules ,what are the measurements from the tip to the ferules?.

This is a post for a friend who's car is slightly over filled. Is it OK for the oil level to be around half a cm over the max line, do the manufacturers take into consideration human error (or as some would call it idiot error). Secondly what's the best way to remove excess oil. Ideally...

Guys, interestingly I have come across some "Genuine MB" labeled engine oil on eBay, 10 litres for £35 is incredible value however my indy laughed as he said MB have never produced engine oil.. Have any of you guys purchased and used this oil of eBay? If it's not formulated by MB then what brand...

Duff poll alert: I meant to input Mahle so any vote for Mehre is a vote for Mahle. So, being a Mercedes Newbie I marveled at the oil filter at the top of the engine on my C220 W203 Coupe and saw an opportunity. Since cleanliness is next to Christian Godliness I decided to try a pile of...

When I had my VRS remapped, I changed the oil every 10k as I read that it is better than the 18k longlife service interval. If I were to get my e350 mapped, would it be wise to change at 10k vs 15k bearing in mind I do 25k per year? I am happy to do an oil/filter change myself in between...

I've just serviced my 210 (first time doing it). I was just curious what's more accurate checking engine oil level cold or hot?

What Engine Oil level should the W211 e55 be at when cold, checking via the cluster ? Thanks.

Noticed some oil residue on one side of the rear diff casing, it wasn't think and wet but was still pretty fresh. It looked to be completely my from higher the the shaft seals, my mot mate reckoned it could be from a breather higher up on the casing and out of sight. Anyone had this can confirm...

Hello, This is my first post on this forum. I have owned my c220 for just over 2 years now. It has been a great car but a it's now having a few small issues. The main 1 being is that the oil cooler has started to leak. I was just wondering is this common fault and do they have an expected...

Hi Has anyone on here done there own oil and oil filter change on a e55k? I've been reading up and it says there are 2x drain plugs? Does it matter which one gets drain 1st? sorry if its a stupid question, just thought it was worth a ask:D

Hey guys I'm new to the forum and Mercedes Benz. I have purchased an W211 e320 CDI sport from 2009 with 40k miles on the clock last month. Last week I have taken my car to a local MB specialist for an oil and oil filter change. I have since done a road trip of 400 miles. After starting...

Hi I've tried a search but cannot seem to find info for an S211 E220 Cdi diff oil change. Can anyone tell me what is the oil spec, how much required and the hex key size to fit the drain and fill plugs please? Or point me to a relevant link? All help appreciated. Steve

I did a routine oil change on my cls500 using Shell Helix Ultra 5w40, exactly the same as last time. Next morning on cold start I hear a tapeting noise from the engine. Hold on a second that wasn't there. I had one bottle left of oil in question - expiry date is 10/06/2016 Seriously how they...
