Why do guys here always insist on 5w30, 5w20, 5w40 oils when the American people switch to 20w50 during the summer season?

Are you saying that our weather is colder than their summers?

Hence following the decision to acquire the w210 E320 2001 model year I am thinking about using Mobil oil xhp @3000 miles change intervals.

Any concerns I should be aware of?

mokset123:
does the manual of the car state that the oil be switched from 5w 20 or 5w 30 to 20w 50 in the summer? i have not seen such in my car manual oh.

EgunMogaji:


No engine manufacturer will say that.

Like I said, no manufacturer will ask you to use 20W50 on a modern engine.

Your link is to an enthusiast video, not Mercedes. And he stated that the requirement is 0W40

PS: Anyone can use any oil weight they want on their cars, The issue is trying to make something personal that deviates from the manufacturers specs as being the bible.

The first thing I do on a job is to figure out how to do the job faster and will usually be different from the manufacturers recommendation but that doesn't mean my way is the Bible.

PPS: And I'm out. You guys enjoy.

we be voiding them warranties since 1980!

i'm not a gearhead - but i am a tech geek. the first thing i do with any new pc is change the hard drive and install windows from scratch - even if i have to scour the net to find the right drivers.

Whaat? Well my engine is gonna love the 20w50 oil. Even I might switch to SAE40... Single grade oil.... We don't have seasons or extreme temperatures that requires multigrade oils

You the funniest SOB I've in the last 24hours, how do you compare reinstalling windows and changing HDD with deviation from standard requirements for running an engine??

When you change HDD why do you bother about drivers, why not leave it like that?? You scour the net because you want the laptop to closest to factory specs as possible. Either ways, your action doesn't affect your PC. Its end user reliant.

PS. weyreypey, you could run that engine on vegetable oils with maybe 6weeks interval, its gonna be great. I love the aroma of red oil...

sooperrescue:

Done deal. Lejeun3, please if the car is on the Island, help me check it before I give him this RR.

sooperrescue:
Sorry bros, use better oil. No other way.

I am predicting you would have engine issues sooner than you expect."Benz engines are indestructible" but with someone like you ,they might just rephrase that

weyreypey:

Why are you making bogus claims? 20W50 is our oil in Nigeria!!

nakoks:


You and who?which our oil?Oga put that your "our oil" in your "our car" and not a beautifully crafted piece of German machine.That is evil (if you know what goes into creating that beast you wont be contemplating what you are about to do).

Oga see, abeg leave sound advice for intelligent ones, his Mercedes-Benz car and his choice of oil to use in his car engine.

You seem to have a very poor parental upbringing.... Have you seen anyone pass insults on this thread since? If you even have a Mercedes it can't be beyond a C klasse... Maintain your lane.
