1 Answers
The recommended amount of engine oil for a Mercedes-Benz C300L during an oil change is approximately 8 liters. After adding the oil, it's advisable to check the oil level. Here's a reminder on how to check the oil level: after adding the oil, start the vehicle, then turn it off and wait for 3 minutes before checking. This is because when changing the oil, the oil filter is also replaced, and the new oil filter initially contains no oil. After starting the vehicle, oil will flow into the oil filter. Types of engine oil: Mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. The classification is mainly based on the differences in base oils. Generally, mineral oil uses Group II and Group III base oils, semi-synthetic oil uses Group III and Group IV base oils, and full synthetic oil uses Group IV and Group V base oils. Lubrication effectiveness of engine oil: Mineral oil has the least effectiveness, full synthetic oil has the best effectiveness, and semi-synthetic oil falls in between. Oil change intervals: Mineral oil should generally be changed every 5,000 kilometers, semi-synthetic oil every 7,500 kilometers, and full synthetic oil every 10,000 kilometers. If the vehicle has been parked for more than three months, it is recommended to change the oil before using it.
