b200t turbo · 07-04-2008, 01:10 PM

what weight/grade of oil does the b200 turbo manual specify?
how many litres?
I am planing to do my own oil changes when I purchase my turbo, most likey an 06 and prob out of warranty or close to the expiry.

does the oil filter come with gaskets/orings?
is it like the picture here http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w203...your-c230.html

****update****
does anyone know if the b200t uses the MB 229.3 or MB 229.5 oil specification?
I would think the MB 229.5 long interval would be a safe choice (castrol 0w30, or Mobil1 0W40)
I already use castrol 0w30 in my nissan vq35 and its a great oil and I only change it once a year or about 10000km so I think I'm going to use it in the b200t and stick with the OEM filters.

some interesting oil spec for MB here:...
