Best Answer

Yes. I have never used the premium

On the inside of the gas tank it says premium gas only.

It is recommended that you use premium fuel in Mercedes, or most luxury vehicles, because the engine was designed for that octane level. This is not to say that you cannot use regular fuel. The cars ECU or computer, will automatically adjust the timing for the lower octane (and quicker combustion). The only thing that will happen, is that you may lose a VERY VERY small amount of performance (0.5 sec to 60MPH) and possibly a VERY small amount of fuel efficiency, although the amount you lose may or may not be enough to make up for the amount you save at the pump between regular and premium. I have used regular fuel for 90% of the time that I have owned my C240.

Where do you purchase Mercedes key fob?

Not sure what fob is! But for the key, you need to approach the Mercedes Benz dealership. For the C240, 2002 model, I had to pay around $250 for a new key. It can open and close the door from around a block, so take care that you don't accidently open your car while handling your keys!

Can you use regular 5w-30 oil in a 03 c240?

As a technician myself, I wouldn't even consider using 5w-30 on any high end car such as the Mercedes C-class line. It's best to use a full synthetic oil. You should get around 10,000 miles of protection with a quality full synthetic. This is as opposed to the 3,000 miles you get with regular 5w-30. We use Mobile 1 full synthetic 0w-40 for European cars. It should take around 8.5 quarts. I performed an oil change on a 2003 c240 just this afternoon actually. Hope this helps.
