Mercedes W164 350 2006, Gas 4matic 272 hp/ Mercedes W201 190D/ Mercedes W213 E220D 4matic
My first steps in my new Mercedes

Hi guys, i've bought an E220D 4MATIC from Germany but i live in Bulgaria and i've imported it here. So there is my first question, is it possible to change language of instrument cluster and how? I've saw some guides on Youtube via engineering menu/ mode? Or i should use Mercedes xentry diagnosis ? I saw on my local dealer that cars there have bulgarian language on instrument cluster and so i know that i can have it. The question is how
Second does anyone know what's the difference between engine oils? I mean spec. 229.52, 229.61 and 229.71 ? I know that 229.71 is 0W20, which is not very good for my country's geographic location. 229.61 is only 0W30, which i plan to use until first 100 000 km. And 229.52 is knowable oil and it have 0w30/0w40/5w30/5w40. But if i compare 229.52 0W30 with 229.61 0W30, where is the difference, except the price?
And my last question (for now ), am i right or i haven't reed it correctly, but i saw that service interval for oil and filter change of 9-G tronic is 125 000 km or 5 years, which came first? Isn't it too long period ? On my W164 i change gear oil and filter on every 60 000 km.

Language can be changed under the vehicle option. select a vehicle option and then go to setting, under-setting you can get the language option.
the service interval for E class is 25000 Km
The service interval for C class is 15000 km
you can get this info from the manual book of Mercedes.

I've always been confused by the section on replacing the rear differential fluid. I don't know what the codes mean, and I don't know which row corresponds to my car. Do you understand them?

I have a 2018 E-300 4matic.

I have a somewhat similar list of codes that I received when my car was ordered. Similar to your list, I don't have a 467 or a 471 code. So how do I interpret that section? Does my car match with no row, and I never need to replace the rear differential fluid? For that matter, I *think* it's saying that you don't have to replace the fluid unless you have the AMG package. Can that be right?

Correct, AMG requirement. Proactively you can replace rear differential fluid when you replace ATF/filter every 60,000/6-years whichever comes first.

Well not yet as I like to test it. The idiotic dealer from Germany forgot to give me some documents, so without them I can’t get licence plates. And if I drive the car on public roads here without plates , the cops will tear me up.. Yes, I drive it 300-400 meters in front of the house. And I can say that this is the most complicated car I’ve even driven. It has a lot of options, like airmatic, driving assist plus, head up and I will took me some time just to learn the keys and knobs 😆 I like the parking assist and the option to park the car from your cell phone. It’s very suitable for small garages and parking spots.
The negative side for now I can say is that it’s not very wide inside and for my sizes (180 high and 100kg weight) it’s little tight on driver side. And second the car has full leather package and it’s white/ beige and I will becomes very dirty with two kids inside
I hope by the end of next week to take a 1000km trip from/to my home town and then I could say anything more about the car.
