i think they suppose to use 0-40 as it's full synthetic. i heard that the 5-40 is cheaper non-full synthetic. you can get 5-40 at costco and in large jars at walmart but the 0-40 only come in quarts(more expensive).

official authorize MB dealers are required to use mobil 1 full synthetic, but of course the option is up to the client. i'd do my oil change outside the dealer and get a good OEM filter plus good synthetic oil irregardless of brand, you will save around 30 to 40 percent on cost.

In the manual it does not state exactly the viscosity....it just says use only MB approved oils
BTW, with a coupon, the oil change is only $90 at this dealership...can not beat that!
