bizzle2:If your MB is W166 ,then it more than just seeking for 5w30 or 0w40 ,what now matters using either with MB approval number 229.5 . That approval number is what makes the oil suitable for your MB |

HeavenlyBang:5W 40 izzit. I'll go with Mikey on this...then join autologic in the MB approval ratings for the oil to be used. 1 Like |

kingreign:Thanks . I understand the parameters, I'm curious about personal user experiences. I'll settle for the 5W 30 or 40. at bolded was why I didn't completely agree with the guy. I have two 1litre bottles of Mobil 0W 30 (came with). mad I can't use them |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by bizzle2: 9:22pm On Jan 16, 2021 |
autologic:yes, it's a 166. goto option is the Mobil 1 FS |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by kingreign(m): 9:47pm On Jan 16, 2021 |
bizzle2: From personal technical experience, either 5W30 or 5W40 will be fine for your car in Nigerian Climate condition. NB: an engine suffers most wear during cold crank. |

bizzle2:Knowing what i know and being who i am,i would use that 0w30 with my full chest . |

Hi guys i wanna buy a cla but i wanna be sure about the maintenance thanks |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 9:50pm On Jan 17, 2021 |
West10: Get a C Class. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by West10(m): 12:40am On Jan 18, 2021 |
HeavenlyBang:Which year would be good 2016 - 2020 |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 4:32am On Jan 18, 2021 |
West10: Well, if funds aren't an issue, I'd say get a 2019. Facelift. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by West10(m): 10:21am On Jan 18, 2021 |
HeavenlyBang:alright thank you so much you’ve been very helpful |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by drakeskull(m): 2:56pm On Jan 18, 2021 |
West10: For that year, get the C400 instead of C300 |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 3:26pm On Jan 18, 2021 |
drakeskull: Not everyone is interested in performance. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by drakeskull(m): 3:51pm On Jan 18, 2021 |
HeavenlyBang: This isn't about performance. Those engines are prone to failure due to our bad fuel. I know a couple of users with first-hand experience |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 3:52pm On Jan 18, 2021 |
drakeskull: Fair enough. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by dannybrasky(m): 3:57pm On Jan 18, 2021 |
drakeskull:Very very valid point. Few of my friends with the c300 2019 had engine problems,only the dude with the c400 didn't fall into this mess. 1 Like |

dannybrasky: No surprise, the M276 has been in use since 2012. Never been a fan of those 2.0T engines anyway. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by dannybrasky(m): 4:16pm On Jan 18, 2021 |
HeavenlyBang:For someone like you,2.0 will be torture |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 4:21pm On Jan 18, 2021 |
dannybrasky: I can't stomach the thought. I wouldn't even trade for an A45s with over 400 HP. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by dannybrasky(m): 4:31pm On Jan 18, 2021 |
HeavenlyBang: A45s 4 cylinder with 416HP,that's a huge power for a 4 cylinder. More power than most v6,the word AMG scares me for no reason lol,but for a 4 cylinder with such HP,I can settle. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 4:35pm On Jan 18, 2021 |
dannybrasky: But then, you must consider how stressed the engine is. If the regular C300 already has issues, imagine how that one will be. 416 HP from a 2.0 means the engine is running on ungodly amounts of boost to get that power. Better off starting with a C400, then getting a tune. A turbo V6 will always be better than a turbo four cylinder. 1 Like |

drakeskull:ok but how much should i budget for maintenance for the C400 |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by drakeskull(m): 9:02pm On Jan 18, 2021 |
West10: No idea really but you can ask this guy on his page. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFH4PVgHNoh/?igshid=c3mxf12yd18s That's a link to one of the numerous failed c300 and E300 engines (hydrolock caused by bad fuel) Another here https://www.instagram.com/p/CBdNdAPHa_8/?igshid=137hf2dfkople 1 Like |

drakeskull:ok but it’s good to maintain i also saw what you highlighted about the engine of the C300 does the C400 has better engine |
