clk55amgw209

Hello everyone,
Just wondering which coolant I should be using for 2003 clk55amg w209?
Thanks a lot
Also the line to the coolant resivoir is a little loose where it meets the resivoir and is leaking a small amount of what I believe to be coolant. How should I fix this. I want to have services done to my vehicle, what should I have done?

Xerex G-05 is a good coolant to use that meets MBZ specs and is usually readily available at most auto parts stores.

As for the leak at the reservoir hose, that is often a broken nipple where the hose connects. You might be able to fix it with epoxy, but usually it requires a new reservoir.

Thanks for the info Rodney,
I got a picture for you to work with here. The coolant very minimally from the space.

please let me know what you think I should do about this.
I got a check coolant level alert, no check engine light. Thanks

I use Zerex G-05 too since it's easy to get. Make sure you do a full flush if you're going to switch to Zerex

It looks like the nipple is cracked, but it's hard to tell from the photo. I'd just replace the reservoir.

Reservoir has been replaced
Next thing is an oil change, is changing the clk55 w209 oil different than changing a Clk320 or 500? Different process or no?

Rudeney

Nope. CLK55 uses an M113 engine just like the CLK500.

DanielFD

same process, but the amg engine uses a different spec oil then the 500 or 320.

Mobil 1 tells me to use 0W-40, isn't that what people use in a CLK320 or CLK500? What do they use? What should I use?

DanielFD

I apologize i had completely forgotten that the CLK 55 amg engine is a m113. So i did a search for the 229.5 spec oil that MB had personally Approved and shockingly no Mobil 1 0-40W instead i found "Mobil Super 3000 X3 5W-40" here is the list:

Other oils may have the spec MB 229.5 written on it. but the ones in this list are the only ones with the MB-APPROVED 229.5 spec that has been officially tested by MB and given approval.

DanielFD

Ouuuuupssss. and thats a BIG oups. I misspelled 229.5 and opened the link for the 226.5 oils so scratch all i said and here is the real spec sheet "slim shady"
