Please I just made the jump from Corolla to a c300. Can anyone recommend a reliable mechanic on the mainland? Nothing is wrong at the moment, I just want to have someone to call if anything goes wrong. Tips on what to look out for are welcome too, it's an 09 model and Benz is uncharted waters for me. |

blackfm:That's quite a bit of a long jump..... Get a scanner first 1 Like |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by blackfm: 8:43am On Jan 25, 2020 |
Smartchoiice:I know lol, I actually have a scanner, it's not throwing any codes. For now I want to service and I don't want just anyone touching it. I reckon a Benz mech would be more knowledgeable on the right filter and Mobil 1 weight to use. I checked online for the oil weight but I'm getting conflicting info, some say 5w30, some say 0w40. I dont want to make an uninformed choice 1 Like |

blackfm:What's written on your oil filler cap? |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by AmuDimpka: 9:04am On Jan 25, 2020 |
blackfm: It depends on the side of mainland... C class is a good one , also ensure you don't swim waters if it's the compressor... Use star oil for the gear and Mobil for the engine .... I don't know how and where you are in mainland, I have used Benz for years now and I have two guys one in Alausa and the other around Egbeda.. they are good but call this one 0802 643 7742 (John) he is good Yaba is a bit far ...if you are around ikeja Egbeda axis then call him up 2 Likes |

blackfm: On right filter thats not an issue but oil weight is both tricky and your choice.0w40,5w40 and 5w30 would work perfectly but the intricacy of brand,and oil burning and performance is what you need to sort out. 2 Likes |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by blackfm: 9:22am On Jan 25, 2020 |
nakoks:Thank you. I'm going with Mobil 1, the US spec. It's just a matter of picking one of the weights. Mileage is around 140k, dunno if that can assist in the choice |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by AmuDimpka: 9:31am On Jan 25, 2020 |
blackfm:okay |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by AmuDimpka: 9:33am On Jan 25, 2020 |
nakoks:the car is over 100k millage bro... And about 10 yrs ... 5w40 is amazing ... That car is not less than 10k mileages... Let's factor depreciation also 1 Like |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by AmuDimpka: 9:34am On Jan 25, 2020 |
nakoks:that is better instead of going to Ikeja all the way |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by AmuDimpka: 9:35am On Jan 25, 2020 |
blackfm:Oga forget weight just buy mobile one... Maybe the heavier version considering the millage and age of the engine |

Man wey Sabi I made a jump back to my beloved BMW brand after moving to Honda and Lexus. Both brands have no soul (sorry to say). Difference is clear. Though Lexus is so smooth on the road that you won't feel the road, of your suspension is still good. baxton25: |
