How many liters of engine oil does the Mercedes-Benz GLA200 require?
1 Answers
The Mercedes-Benz GLA200 requires approximately 6.5 liters of engine oil. The engine should use fully synthetic oil that meets the European oil certification standard A3B4 and the Mercedes-Benz oil certification standard 229.3/229.5. The oil viscosity grade can be either 5W-30 or 0W-40. For lower fuel consumption, 5W-30 is recommended, while 0W-40 provides better protection at high temperatures and high RPM. Currently, engine oils on the market can be broadly categorized into mineral oils and synthetic oils based on their base oils (vegetable oils are not considered due to their scarcity). Synthetic oils are further divided into full synthetic and semi-synthetic oils. Synthetic oils have a wider operating temperature range, longer service life, and higher costs. For the same oil film requirements, synthetic oils can achieve the desired performance with lower viscosity, whereas mineral oils require higher viscosity to meet the same standards. When adding engine oil, do not pour it all into the engine at once. It is best to add it gradually while measuring the level. Pull out the Mercedes-Benz's built-in oil dipstick (located near the engine), wipe off the attached oil with a cloth, reinsert it, and then pull it out again to check the dipstick's scale marks. The oil level should be between the upper and lower limit marks, not exceeding the upper limit. This is the standard oil level. If too much oil is added and exceeds the upper limit, the rising temperature during driving can cause the oil seals to burst, leading to oil leaks. Adding too little oil can affect engine lubrication and cooling.
