Good morning to all.
We purchased a new MB last weekend and, of course, one of the first thing I did once we returned home was to grab the manual and determine which oil grade Mercedes recommends. Interestingly, MB only recommends a spec. I have been unable to locate any information on the oil weight. MB actually recommends several specs. MB 229.51, MB 229.52, MB 229.61 and MB 229.71. It's a 2.0 turbo M264 model motor (2020 GLE 350 suv). Numerous oils ranging from 5w20 to 5w40 meet one or more of these specs. I'm guessing 5w40 Euro Synthetic would be in order due to the turbo. Any one have experience with selecting an oil weight for this engine. It's been around since 2018 i believe.
Thanks
