Im sure this has been covered here numerous time's, but i just want to know what you guys run.
I have a 2008 C230, 2.5 automatic 4matic, with 320,000 kilometers.
5w30 Synthetic i guess?

 

Anyone?

 

Any on this list are good:

As for which weight, it's more about your climate. If it doesn't get very cold, then 5w30 is fine and some people report slightly improved gas mileage with the lighter oil as compared to a 0w-40 or 5w-40.

 

I buy synthetic oil from dealer supplied by Mercedes, grey 5L cans 229.5 Spec with stickers from germany, but yet to find out for sure what it actually is. It seems it may be 5W/40. Not sure if this oil is refurbished or original.

BTW, with 320,000KM on the odometer, have you by chance signed up for your 250,000KM High Milage Award?
