Arrow Oil engine grade for AMG GTS ?

Hi guys who do maintenance by themself,

I'm preparing the trip to nurburgring track (this friday) and would like to do the engine oil change before even if the oil have 5.000 kms but 18 months ...
- What MB norm need to be checked ? MB 229.5 ? 229.3 ?
- What grade does it preferable to use ? 5W40 ? 5W50

Other question, this video is perfect :
But it seems to be change a plastic nut (shown at 1:28") , but I don't find the part number on internet.
- Is it obliged to change it or can be reused ?

Thanks a lot.
Greg

Hi Greg,

Please see this thread about the oil drain plug. The part number for the plug is shown in post #10:

The recommended oil weight is here in the WIS oil change procedure:




All the Best,

Acta

Very nice Topic you share here Thanks a lot.
Because it's exactly what I thought about this plastic pin ...
I need to purchase it fastly now

About Oil, ok about 0W40 or 5W40 , but the MB specifications can be followed of differents number : 229,1 , 229,3 or 229,5.
Certainly not really helpfull ?

Regards.
