How many liters of engine oil should be added to the Mercedes-Benz C200?
2 Answers
The Mercedes-Benz C200 requires 6 to 7 liters of engine oil, and it is recommended to keep the oil level between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. The Mercedes-Benz C200 is a mid-size car. Taking the Mercedes-Benz C200 2018 Sport 4MATIC as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4714 mm, width 1810 mm, height 1442 mm, wheelbase 2840 mm, and fuel tank capacity 66 liters. The Mercedes-Benz C200 2018 Sport 4MATIC is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine, with a maximum power of 135 kW and a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
I've been using a Mercedes C200 for several years, and during maintenance, the oil change usually requires about 6 liters. The exact amount depends on the model year. My own car is a 2019 model, and the manual states 5.8 liters, but in practice, the technicians at the shop fill it up to exactly 6 liters. This is because there’s some residual oil during the change, and adding a bit more ensures safety. Too little oil can lead to insufficient lubrication, causing the engine to overheat and wear out; too much can increase internal pressure and pollute the environment. Once, I tried adding only 5.5 liters myself, and the car started making a humming noise with reduced power, so I quickly topped it up with half a liter. I recommend checking the manual before each maintenance session and using the manufacturer-recommended 5W-30 full synthetic oil. This ensures smooth engine operation and worry-free long-distance driving. Regularly checking the dipstick to maintain the oil level at the standard mark—these small details can extend your car’s lifespan.
