- SAE 10W-40: This is a multi-grade engine oil with a viscosity of 10W (winter) and 40 (summer). It is commonly recommended for Mercedes vehicles and provides good protection in moderate climates.
- SAE 5W-40: This is also a multi-grade oil with a lower winter viscosity (5W), making it suitable for colder environments. It offers improved low-temperature performance and can provide more protection during cold starts and winter conditions.
- SAE 5W-30: This is another commonly recommended multi-grade oil for Mercedes vehicles. It has a lower viscosity than 10W-40 and 5W-40, which may provide better fuel economy and improved flow in cold temperatures. However, it may not offer the same level of protection at high temperatures compared to thicker oils.
When selecting engine oil for your C-180, look for one that meets the manufacturer's specifications and choose a viscosity based on your local climate and driving conditions. Additionally, consider using an oil that has specific approvals or recommendations for Mercedes-Benz vehicles to ensure compatibility and optimal performance. You may also want to refer to your vehicle's service records or consult with an authorized Mercedes-Benz service center for specific oil recommendations.
