I usually enjoy taking my AMG to the track, where the engine frequently revs between 5,000 to 6,000 RPM. Choosing the right oil is absolutely crucial. Mercedes-Benz requires fully synthetic oil with MB229.5 or 229.52 certification. I’ve been using Mobil 1 0W-40 for years—it maintains stable oil film even under high temperatures on track days, with no noticeable degradation after several laps. Last year, I tried a 5W-50 racing oil once, but it provided insufficient lubrication during cold starts, causing noticeable engine vibration, so I quickly switched back. Now, I always buy an extra liter during maintenance since aggressive driving tends to burn oil. And never skimp by using regular oil—AMG’s piston rings and turbochargers are precision-engineered, and low-quality oil can cause cylinder scoring in no time. For daily street driving, I recommend checking the oil level every 5,000 kilometers.

How to Identify the Model of a Car?

Methods to identify the model of a car: You can check the vehicle's nameplate, which provides detailed information such as the manufacturing date, engine displacement, and power (kW). The nameplate is usually located at the lower part of the passenger side door and can be seen upon opening the door. The vehicle nameplate is a label that indicates the basic characteristics of the vehicle, including the manufacturer, model, engine power, total weight, load capacity or passenger capacity, production number, manufacturing date, and the name of the manufacturer. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a code that identifies the vehicle's identity. The VIN consists of 17 characters (including English letters and numbers), commonly known as the 17-digit code, which is a unique set of characters assigned by the manufacturer to identify a specific vehicle.

Where to Adjust for Insufficient Supercharger Pressure?

For insufficient supercharger pressure, you can adjust the screw on the supercharger. First, open the cover outside the supercharger to see a small screw. At the end of the screw, there is a bolt. Loosen the bolt first, then shorten the screw, and finally tighten the bolt. There are mainly two types of superchargers in cars: mechanical superchargers and exhaust turbochargers. Mechanical superchargers are common in European cars. They consume a certain amount of engine output power when driving the compressor, and the effect of power improvement is not obvious, with poor fuel economy. However, the smoothness is better than that of exhaust turbochargers. Exhaust turbochargers use exhaust energy to drive the turbocharger. The characteristic is that there is no mechanical connection between the turbocharger and the engine, mainly connected by the air path. The effect on power improvement and fuel saving is more significant.

How to Tell if the Lower Control Arm is Broken?

Determining whether the lower control arm is damaged can be observed through aspects such as the car's steering and braking. During driving, if the steering wobbles, feels unevenly weighted left and right, or tends to pull to one side when braking, these could be signs of a problem. On bumpy roads, excessive movement of the control arm or too large a gap at the joint connecting the control arm to the knuckle can indicate that it is loose or damaged. The lower control arm, also known as the lower suspension arm, is a small component but plays a crucial role in supporting the entire vehicle body. Together with the shock absorber and spring, the lower control arm forms the vehicle's suspension system. Its primary function is to absorb vibrations generated during driving, working in coordination with the shock absorber.
