ENGINE OIL & VISCOSITY

I recommend changing your Mercedes Benz Oil and filter every 5000 miles with Mobile One European Formula now however I do not recommend using the Mobil One filter but I recommend the factory Mercedes Benz Oil filters and I'll tell you why the factory Mercedes Benz Oil filters have thin metal wiring and tiny little exes that look like crosses that filter the oil where as the Mobil One filter is mostly made out of paper I noticed that it got sluggish at just 5200 miles which I try not to do the bottle says 8000 miles that's incorrect factory specification is every 5000 miles change oil and filter

I am considering oil and filter at 10k and oil only at 5k. 2023 E 450. Been changing both at 5k and am pretty sure that is overkill.

Continue to change the oil and filter as timely as possible calibrated to factory Mercedes Benz specifications you'll be happy later on granted this is a late model your driving we want to keep them on the road as long as possible
