Yes, Yes ~ You simply don't understand the manual or operation of the Assyst. You fight with Sportstick who had a long & distinguished career with OEM's much of it at Daimler Chrysler.
A certain fellow who is on a 7 day suspension collected many member complaints & the decision to suspend was made by 3 moderators. You have collected a number of member complaints and I have handed them off to other moderators. When I've had a disagreement with a member I leave my gun at the door.

Seeing you endlessly speculate & doubt. My last invite. They had everything there including the SLS so as not to miss an opportunity. The focus of this day was the babies. Previous track day focus was S Class & S Class hybrid. I do lead an interesting life. Always have for which I'm grateful.
Whew. Totaled my MINI and still have 3 full 5 qt containers of Mobil 1 0w40. Was worried that would be too thin for the C300. Glad it's recommended after my break-in period.
I still have a couple of quarts of 0-20 mobile one left over from my old subaru. I guess I'll just use it for gun oil. Probably a lifetime supply at the rate I use it.
I'll pick up a quart of 0-40w for the trunk of the C450. FWIW, the owners manual is pretty ambiguous about oil spec. I'm glad Mobile 1 is one of the approved ones though since I've used it for a number of years and I trust the product.
So far, oil consumption on the new C450 has been zero. But not having a spare quart of oil in the trunk makes me nervous. Old habits die hard I guess.
Hey Glyn, I'll soon becoming over from a couple of BMWs to a 2017 C300 coupe. I'm not a high mileage guy and have had the 325i (65K miles) and z4 2.5i (44k miles) for 10 years. After the free oil changes, I changed the oil myself (once a year) using a vacuum pump and Mobil 1 0W40 here in south Florida. When I left the cars, the engines were purrrring, I never lost oil, and gas mileage was always excellent (well within normal-21mpg city and 31 mpg highway). Although my previous cars have done well with 0W40 in the constantly warm weather of FL, would using 5W40 make any difference?
Went to the dealer. They tried to sell me 5w40 at $7+ a quart. Got the filter there for $25 and then went to Walmart and got 0w40 229.5 Mobile 1 for $22 for 5 quarts. Much cheaper.
Yes I know I need almost 7 qts but had some led from my prior car so was good!

You can get the genuine filter for under $10 online
Edit. Nevermind, that is for the Turbo 4. The V6 filter is around $16 online

I bought genuine Mercedes filters (engine air intake, activated carbon, cabin intake, and 3x oil filter) from Mercedes Parts Center. That way I could spread the $10 shipping charge over all the parts.
