2002 Mercedes c240 how many oil quarts is syntetic 10 30 ok?

Answer 1

Do not use 10W 30 motor oil in any Mercedes Benz. The factory has tested different formulas and weights of motor oil, as well as needed additives to prevent premature wear. Always use Mobil 1 0W 40 motor oil, 8 1/2 quarts for a dry fill but for an average oil change you can use 8 quarts because you will always have some oil left in the engine. Always use a MB fleece lined oil filter and always replace the four O-rings to make sure you have a proper seal. You will have an extra O-ring in the package, this is for other models because just about every MB made in the past 10 years all use the same oil filter. Also, change your oil after 8,000 miles and not 10,000 miles as listed in the manual. This will help later down the road if you plan on keeping the vehicle for a long time. If you service this vehicle properly, you should see 300,000 miles without any major repairs, you will also see above average resale value. Keith.
