Low oil light came on after 3000 miles?
Is it normal for my low oil light to come on after only 3,000 miles 2012 c63 coupe with p31? I have had the car for only 2 months and drive it daily.

Yeah. Car is going to drink a lot of oil when it's brand new. The more miles you put in it, the less oil it'll consumes.

Well, never buy a CL63 because it's turning me broke. She drinks oil and gas like it's free. I have to add a quarter of oil every week, and I'm averaging $30 gas every day lol

I think mine came on a couple of months ago after about 7K miles.

Totally normal. Just add a quart and go to sleep easy.

Either 0W-40 or 5W-40. You need to ask your dealer what oil they put in your car first. Most folks here have 0W-40, but when I ask my dealer it was actually 5W-40 in my car, then they were nice enough to top my oil off free of charge .
