2013 GLK250BT
I just had oil/filter replaced (DIY) at 28,500KM.
Purchased oil and filter from MB dealership.
Got a MB brand oil (last time it was Mobil 1), over the parts counter.
NEW - oil spec has been updated to 229.52 by Mercedes.
So now it will be "running" on 0W-30 ESP instead of 0W-40.
Should be protecting engine better especially on very low temperatures, since it's thinner.
Anyone aware of this "new" spec oil recommendation?
