For my 2024 (manufactured in Feb 2024) AMG GLB 35 4MATIC, here's what I found for oil change info. Anyone who's here in the forums is super cool and smart to figure out how to do most of this (and honestly, this was the easiest oil change in a vehicle I've ever done). But, I'm posting this info as I found so many different specs, sizes, weights, tools, etc. for the car online that I wanted to let you know what I used on my vehicle per my dealers instructions for this year and spec. (The images have info on them and were actually used in an Instagram post; sharing here.)
—5.3 US quarts (5.0 liters)—5W-40 (SAE spec 229.5 for MB-approved oil). Of course, use the recommended oil type for your area/climate. I'm in Arizona so it requires Hell-prevention levels of viscosity.
—MB oil filter part number: 270-180-01-09 (this will come with the filter and three differently-sized O rings to replace on the filter stem)
—Crush gasket washer for drain plug: Purchase with filter from MB dealer, or get 14mm copper compatible for Mercedes-Benz 007603-014106
Tools Needed:
—27 mm socket and extension for oil filter housing. (As shown on the housing cap, reinstall at 25 + 5; so, no more than 30 ft Nm.)
—13 mm socket for front floor tray; remove 8 bolts
—12 mm socket for oil drain plug
You can replace the filter before or after draining the old oil; I found it easier to replace the filter right before you put in the new oil, as the car will most-likely be back on the ground/off the jacks or lift and easier to get to.
If changing the oil between the required factory intervals, do not reset the computer — only reset it when you are changing the oil at the required factory intervals (10k for the 2024 AMG GLB 35)

Very nice visuals, thanks for your contribution OP.
Hi, Idle: That's a good question. Part of the reason I posted the info above was because I found so many disparate online posts about the GLB 35. NOT that any of them are wrong —— they just seemed to be wrong for my vehicle. What I ultimately had to do was go to my preferred MB dealer and order what I needed for my VIN. That way, I had a starting point of what I'd need in future (from wherever I might want to order it.)
The filter I used for my 2024 GLB was part 270-180-01-09 (leaving off the -90, which as you said was unavailable. Not sure what that part may have been). I posted a link below for the part I ordered from my preferred dealer (oil filter/oil filter element):
@G63ISH appreciate the prompt response - for some reason, the part number auto generates to the "90" part number even though it's not added.
I've tried calling our local dealer and they simply give me the run around due to the fact that it's an "AMG" model...so clear answer as to why I can't get my hands on a maintenance sheet/part numbers.
My guess is they want you to do it at the dealer and not ask for parts. Some dealers, as you probably know, are just not cool. I'm positive this filter part no. is good for so many MB vehicles, but I don't want to mislead. I also think that there's no way MB engineered them differently for different years so you'd be good to go to Amazon even and order with this part numbner (shown for 14 in the attached image). It's super frustrating, I know. Sorry you've had these issues with MB dealer.
Also, as you probably know as you're changing your own oil, keep record of it for your warranty, and that you used MB parts, all that.
Thanks for the insight! My 1st mistake was letting them know it was our 1st MB
I did check the "AmazonFit" and the part number claims to be a fit - I'll do some more digging and get a few filters ordered; I've always done our oil changes at home and the we did opt for the CPO warranty till 2030 with unlimited miles. So I'll be sure to keep a record of that.
Side note, everyone really sticking with the 10k intervals? I'm thinking about doing them every 5k...when it comes to oil changes that is.
Hey Idle: I think that's a good idea, AmazonFit. I even tripled-checked the one in the car that I was replace with the one I purchased AT the dealer just to be sure it all looked the same. You should be good!
I'm def. not sticking to 10k. I did this first one a little late at 1600 miles; wanted to do it right at 1000 to ensure there was no metal shavings in the oil (none!) So, I'll do the next one at 5k, and then at the required 10k. After that, I'm doing no less than every 5k so I stick the every 10k interval. This car was so easy to do the oil change, I won't stress out about doing it all the time.
Hey, Serge. The 5.3 vs 5.8 question: Maybe? My dealer and my printed user guide say to use 5.3 quarts and so far it's still showing at max level in the computer (oil change about four weeks ago as of this writing).
I used the 5W-40 "as the dealer said so" (noting the online issues I found when researching, above) and have always used Mobil-1. Plus, in this case, Mobil-1 stated on the back that it was for MB and 229.5, so I went with it.
If you prefer another oil brand, that's all good -- I'm just unsure of the other 229.5__ approved numbers. I did see that some were newer formulas, less ash, more slippery, and other things I didn't understand. And since Mobil-1 said it had Mercedes-Benz builder approval, I went with just the .5. Not sure again if any of this helps. I also found mine at local Walmart.
(PS: OEM can always be the way to go, but then it's gonna be more expensive for the same thing, of course -- I also saw your Genuine Mercedes Engine Oil on Amazon but chose not to get it at that price. Mobil and Fuchs are suspected to make MB OEM oil, so as long as any brand is within spec, it's good.)
Appreciate the insight! I've never had to dig this deep for information on an oil change; perhaps I'm over analyzing it and just to run with it. I've always been a full synthetic and OEM filters kind of enthusiast but never felt the need to look at the back numbers or pay them any mind...
Regardless, Mobil 1 is used regularly along with Castrol/Penzoil in my household - I'll be sure to stick with it!
PS. I was told 5w-30 but I'll look into the 5w-40!
PSS - not sure why the link I posted previously are not working for me; prob best not to link them...

that's a bit warmer than we see here; we may get about a week or two of triple digits. Otherwise, we get all 4 seasons out here and I'd imagine the 5w-30 should suffice.
Maybe talking out of place here since I have a GLB250 and not a GLB35, but I’ve been reading this thread as a matter of curiosity.
I thought the GLB35 had the 302 HP version of the M260 DE20 LA engine. Most of these posts recommend sheet 229.5 oil which is not low ash. The BEVO specifies sheets 229,51, 229.52, 229.61, 229.71 oils which are low ash for the M260/264 family. Low ash is required because of the use of a particulate filter in the exhaust.
Do the AMG versions of the M260 not have the particulate filter, making low ash oils unnecessary?

I believe I saw an old post of yours, mentioning the low ash, which also sparked my curiosity and prompted me to surf the forum yesterday afternoon. A link was also shared by @W205C43PFL which list the operating fluids, but being as new as I am to the chassis, I'm not familiar with the engine codes either:
If it is in fact the M260, then your information looks accurate. Thanks for sharing your input! I'm gathering more info everyday on this forum even though it's not the liveliest subforum
