What is the correct oil to use?
The recommended conventional oil is typically 5W-20 or 5W-30 for lower temperatures or 10W-30 for higher ambient temperatures.
What kind of engine oil should I use?
Preferable use MB recommended oils as long a Vehicle is under warranty but then quickly use higher viscosity oils like 5W-40 or 10W-40 especially for higher mileage engines except in cold climates like Alaska.Your Engine will sound quieter and last considerable longer. I have great experiences with TOTAL Synthetic oils.

When to use heavier oil or lighter oil?
You should use the heavier oil and not 0-weight in hot weather or with a high mileage engine. As an engine wears internally, its bearing and cylinder clearances increase with normal operation. Using heavier oil will make high mileage engines consume less oil and will help quiet loose pistons and bearings.
