2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz C200 requires 6 to 7 liters of engine oil. The functions of engine oil include: lubrication, auxiliary cooling, cleaning, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion prevention, shock absorption and cushioning, and wear resistance. Taking the 2018 Mercedes-Benz C200 as an example, it is a mid-size car with body dimensions of: length 4714mm, width 1810mm, height 1442mm, and a wheelbase of 2840mm. The 2018 Mercedes-Benz C200 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 184PS, a maximum torque of 300Nm, and a maximum power of 135kW, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz C200 for several years, and for regular maintenance, I remember the oil capacity is around 6.5 liters. The exact amount depends on the model year, but generally, this is the quantity you'd add during an oil change. It's crucial to use the correct oil specification, such as 5W-40, which is recommended by Mercedes, otherwise, the engine could develop issues. I always make it a habit to check the dipstick before driving to ensure the oil level isn't too low or too high—the middle range is just right. Changing the oil every 5,000 kilometers is the safest bet, especially since I often drive on highways, so I need to be more diligent. If the oil light comes on, I stop immediately to check—never push it, safety comes first. When changing the oil, I go to a reliable shop where they know how to choose the right oil quantity and brand.
