2 Answers
The Mercedes GLC260 requires approximately 7 liters of oil. When adding oil, ensure the oil level is between the min and max marks on the dipstick. Taking the 2021 Mercedes GLC260 as an example, it is a midsize SUV with the following dimensions: length 4764mm, width 1898mm, height 1642mm, wheelbase 2973mm, front track 1614mm, rear track 1611mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters. The 2021 Mercedes GLC260 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, producing a maximum horsepower of 197PS, maximum power of 145kW, maximum torque of 320Nm, and is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz GLC260 for quite some time and always keep track of the oil change amounts. Generally speaking, the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine of this car requires approximately 6.3 liters of engine oil, depending on the year and engine model. Why this amount? Because the engine design requires sufficient lubrication for heat dissipation – too little will wear out parts, while too much may cause oil spraying or environmental pollution. When I do the maintenance myself, I first drain the old oil, then slowly pour in new oil using a funnel. After adding about 6 liters, I check the dipstick and top up to the standard level. Remember to use fully synthetic oil like 5W-40, and don't get the Mercedes-recommended oil grade wrong. Measuring oil when the engine is warm gives more accurate results – don't mess with it when cold or you'll get big errors. If you're not confident doing it yourself, just go to the 4S shop – they usually have specialized equipment to get it done in one go. Don't cut corners on oil costs and risk damaging your engine, as repairs could cost thousands or even tens of thousands.
