2013 Mercedes GLK350 M276 - Total Quartz 9000 5W40 Euro

[Thugzy]

First UOA taken on my 2013 GLK350 with the M276 engine - Filter is a Mann Cartridge
95000kms on the vehicle and 8000kms on the oil.

I typically change the oil every 10,000kms or 6 months.

Looks like i can go much further!

Wow, pretty healthy engine & oil. Definitely try 12k to compare to average to really see how much better your engine is vs average.

Thanks, not sure worth noting but
1) I have owned this since new and always changed the oil myself at around 10,000kms instead of the MB recommended 12moths/20,000km interval... MB spec oil
2) always deactivate the auto engine stop
3)she gets driven hard once a week, I do a few wot runs on the highway

Nice report. I'm a firm believer in driving engines WOT on occasion for maintaining engine health. Helps loosen carbon and fully engages the injectors.

Total is a very good oil though not very well known in north america.

Agreed, now available at our Partsource stores. I buy it whenever it pops on sale, otherwise default to M1 0W40
