The oil specification for the Mercedes-Benz GLA is 5W30. Below are more details about the Mercedes-Benz GLA: 1. In terms of appearance, the production version of the Mercedes-Benz GLA retains the front-end design style of the concept car. In terms of dimensions, the Mercedes-Benz GLA measures 4417mm in length, 1804mm in width, and 1494mm in height. 2. The interior of the Mercedes-Benz GLA concept car features a highly layered dashboard design, paired with a distinctive combination of brown and gray. 3. For the gasoline engines, the car is equipped with a 1.6T engine and a 2.0T engine. The former offers maximum power outputs of 90kW (122Ps) and 115kW (156Ps) depending on the tuning, while the latter delivers a maximum power of 155kW (211Ps).
I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz GLA for several years, and I pay special attention to engine oil selection. The standard specification is 5W-30 synthetic oil, and Mercedes-Benz officially recommends oil that meets the MB229.51 specification. This type of oil maintains consistent performance in both high and low temperatures, protecting the engine from wear. During high-speed driving in summer, the oil viscosity remains stable and doesn't thin out, preventing overheating. In winter, even at sub-zero temperatures, it flows quickly, reducing engine noise and fuel consumption. I change the oil every 10,000 kilometers, opting for synthetic oil from major brands like Mobil or Shell, which costs around 500 RMB. Don't try to save money by using mineral oil, as it may cause engine knocking, sluggish acceleration, and shorten the vehicle's lifespan. Always keep an eye on the maintenance reminders on the dashboard and check the oil level promptly to ensure safety.
