Hi guys
Cars running fine, just over a month in on the SV now, still have this random diff sound but looking into that.
Car has full dealership history but as it’s only done 3k in 2.5 years the supplying dealer sent it locally and the changed the oil and plugs and it’s stated on the invoice trade oil and the total bill was £245 Inc plugs oil PDI inspection, yon might have seen the tyres!
So going to change the oil again so I know what’s in there.
So what are you guys using?
Recommend 0W/20 or are you using 5w/30?

5W30 C1. V6 Vogue - “Less is More” - less to go wrong!

0W20 is correct for your vehicle.

Is there any benefit going 5w/30?

5W30 is for the diesels. Kev

We use 5w/30 in our AMG Gt s and it’s fine, and in my old Gle63s so why so light oil?

5w20 used to be specified for the 5.0 and was revised to 0w20 a few years ago. A lighter weight oil will improve cold start oil flow (but not oil pressure). Different engine designs with different requirements and clearances will have different oil requirements.

Most people will follow what the manufacturer recommends. But at the end of the day, it's your car and your choice as to what you want to put in it. Kev
