What type and how much engine oil is needed for the Mercedes-Benz R300?
1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz R300 uses Mobil engine oil with the specification SN-5W-30, and approximately 7 liters of oil are required for an oil change. Effects of excessive engine oil: Too much engine oil can easily increase engine load, affecting performance; over time, the engine's exhaust ventilation system may also be damaged, leading to increased carbon deposits. Excessive oil levels can also create the illusion of oil burning. Insufficient oil levels typically affect the overall lubrication of the engine, especially for components lubricated by crankshaft splash, leading to accelerated wear or even damage. Engine oil selection: Regarding viscosity value selection, generally, 5W is sufficient for most regions in winter. However, in some northern areas (such as Jilin Province), it is better to use 0W oil, which has stronger low-temperature fluidity to adapt to the driving environment temperature.
