I don't think there would have been any harm done but i would start using the recommended viscosity i,e 0W40

ELITE_KOV

Switch to 0W-40.

I posted a thread about using 10W-30 and people said it is too thin for these cars.

After reading up on different oils and reading the owner's manual, MB says only 0W-40 and does NOT recommend 10W-30 in these cars.


I would do an oil change ASAP.

Can I use 0-50 in my car or no

Amsoil 10-40, or 5-40... depends on the weather....

Mobile 1 is not 100% synthetic anymore, "full synthetic" yes, but not 100% It used to be 100% until they got cheap and now have the minimum to be considered "full synthetic"

amsoil and motul are better IMO

We have all told you what we run,you can use what ever you feel is good.I think a 50w is too thick.

They put 0-40 from the AMG factory,the dealers use 0-40 and that is what 90% of us use.

This is the stuff AMG will cover if you blow up your engine

i'm currently running Castrol Syntec European Formula 5W-40
love the way the engine runs with it, very smooth

I use mobile 1 but also add a can of Restore oil additive. It makes it run extra silky smoothe and I've used it in all my vehicles. You can buy Restore at Walmart for $8 a can.

I know oil additives are controversial so I'll just say I've been very happy with it in my cars, especially those with higher miles.

My $.02.

royal purple 0w-40. Royal purple is some good stuff but always make sure you put the street car formula in street cars and race car formula in race cars.

Just use the oil recommended for your vehicle, and call it a day.
