How many liters of engine oil does the Mercedes-Benz A180 require?
1 Answers
The new Mercedes-Benz A180 requires 6 liters of engine oil. The older models typically need 5 liters of oil. When selecting engine oil, it should be chosen according to the engine's requirements. Do not use high-grade oil in lower-performance engines, nor low-grade oil in high-performance engines. Always select oil that matches the engine specifications. Method for changing engine oil: Use a jack to lift the vehicle, locate and loosen the drain plug to release the old oil; unscrew the oil filter and place a container beneath it; replace with a new oil filter and add new oil. Functions of engine oil: Reduces friction and high temperatures; cools the engine; cleans and removes contaminants; dampens vibrations; prevents rust and corrosion. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, is composed of base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary component of the lubricant, determining its basic properties, while additives enhance and compensate for any shortcomings in the base oil's performance. Meaning of oil grades: The "W" stands for winter, and the smaller the number before it, the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity, indicating a lower usable environmental temperature and better engine protection during cold starts. The number after "W" indicates the oil's high-temperature resistance, with higher numbers representing better protection under high temperatures. Classification of engine oils: Conventional mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. Mineral oil is a commonly used lubricant on the market, derived from the distillation of petroleum. Semi-synthetic oil uses semi-synthetic base oil, which is a refined product of mineral oil through hydrocracking technology. Full synthetic oil is the highest grade of engine oil.
