Hello everyone. This is my very first post but I have done hours of reading on this website. I will try to make this brief. My brother purchased a used 2014 Mercedes Benz CLA 250 base model with 39,000 miles. We did the first oil change at 45,000 mi. This is my main concern. The MB 2.0 turbo engine oil capacity says 5.8 quart, we added 5.8 quarts and it barely marked on the tip of the dipstick, not even on the low mark. In the end we added oil until we were at the full mark and in total, we ended up putting 7.0 quarts of motor oil in. We were on ground level and we already turned the engine on to circulate the engine, turbo and oil filter. The car currently has around 52-53 thousand miles and it has ran perfectly fine with zero issues with the 7 quarts of oil. I guess my question is if anyone has experience the same thing I'm going through, I always try to do stuff correctly and precise but it seemed really wrong to have the correct amount of oil but it barely showed oil on the dipstick. I'm thinking of joining a CLA 250 forum just to ask this same question. Hope you guys come with welcoming information, not just for me but for everyone else. EXTRA INFO: We used 5 liter(~5.5 quarts) jug of Motul X-Cess 5W-40 and the rest of motor oil used was Mobil 1 European Formula 0W-40. I know mixng oils is not recommended but Motul is not readily available and I have never had any negative effects mixing oils. 5.5 quarts of Motul +1.5 quarts of Mobil 1 European Formula is our mixture using the Original Mercedes Benz filter made by Mann. P.S. this Motul/Mobil 1 mixture is insanely smoother, quieter and you can feel the difference compared to Mobil 1 alone. Here is a link to my YouTube video I made of my oil change.
