What oil to add to my 2012 CLS63???

Hey Guys,

The idiot light came on in my new CLS today saying to add a quart of oil.
I am out here in So Cal. What viscosity of oil should I add?

Does brand make a difference? I am presuming synthetic as well.

Sorry to ask such a pedestrian question, but I don't feel like studying the 4 inch thick manual.

Thanks to all!!!!

Wolf

Doesn't anyone reads their owner's manuals anymore? As it tells you what brand and type to use, and also what's compatible.

Guys any oil with the notation 229.5 is acceptable for AMG.
