How much oil do you need for a Mercedes-Benz SLK 230?
You’ll likely want to wear rubber gloves and possibly a dust mask. The special Supercharger Fluid comes in 4-ounce bottles. Capacities for the M62 and M45 superchargers used in the SLK Kompressors is about 3.7 ounces/110 ml, so one bottle is enough for an oil change.

What’s the service life of a Mercedes Benz R170 SLK?
When R170 SLKs were built, Mercedes-Benz had a “sealed for life” mindset for many of the cars’ lubricants. The Kompressor models’ supercharger oil is one example. Apparently, the projected service life of the US-sourced Eaton superchargers is 100,000 miles. The oil was formulated to last as long as the supercharger’s bearings.
How many years does a SLK 230 Kompressor last?
I’d look around for a later model, as late as 2004 when the new R171 shape came in instead. Buy a car with 60 to 80 000 on it and you’ll have a car that will last another 8 to 10 years with just regular oil, brake and tyre maintenance. The 230 Kompressor is a cracking mechanical setup.
Are there any issues with the SLK 230?
Around town as a commuter vehicle it is a hell of a lot better than most and seems to go from one oil change to the next on zero maintenance. The R170 series ( thats the 230 320 and 32 ) suffer panel corrosion around the wheel arches, a few small electrical issues that are fixable with basic diy knowledge and a few other things.

How often should I change the oil in my Mercedes Benz?
On the other hand, you don’t need to do it more than once per year for a Mercedes-Benz because the cars use high-quality synthetic oil and their fuel tank is bigger. As you may know, the oil price contributes most of the total Mercedes-Benz oil change cost.
How many miles does a Mercedes Benz SLK run?
SLK’s will run to 150 000 or 160 000 miles without major challenges. The one you are looking at would appear to have been run pretty much full time since new. There are lots of SLK ‘s about and a car with 130 000 on it will be ‘tired’ and starting to get a bit worn about the edges cosmetically at the very least.
