Recommended Engine Oil
My question is related to W164 ML350 2009 model.
Car is on 115000 mile.
What viscosity, oil brand i should use for this car. Expensive one is not problem. Is there any choice of oil viscosity for high mile vs to new low mile car ? As far as i now recommended oil should be 0w-40.
for Mercedes Benz brand oil is identified with car vin number. There is no specific viscosity on MB oil sticker.

Call the parts dept. at any dealer with your vin# and ask them what Eng. Oil sheet # you should use. Then post back and I will supply the sheet # oils.

You’re going to run into the fact that 229.51 is essentially obsolete and is replaced by 229.52.
As for viscosity, you’ll probably find only one: 5W-30. This will be fine year around in any climate on earth.

It was stated in owner manual for 2009 year, 229.5 spec to be used & this spec is still available on bevo website. Btw, my car is gasoline & not diesel.
Thanks
