banky3w:Bros C 230...depending on the year of production of it's 2005 models ..he doesn't need Mobil one....he can do Mobil 2. I use mobile 2 for my ML 350 And it has been doing great... Not every car is mobile one please |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by sacramento1212: 3:44am On Nov 20, 2019 |
AmuDimpka: Which one is Mobil 2? Mercedes recommends Mobil 1 0w40. That doesn't mean it must be Mobil as a brand. There are other good brands provided the viscosity is 0w40. In situations where that isn't available, 5w40 will still do fine. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by AmuDimpka: 3:53am On Nov 20, 2019 |
sacramento1212: No! I have driven a C class and the car is over 13 yrs old now and the engine is still running , c class elegance and I use mobile 2, now I also have an ML SUV, I still use Mobil 2...there is no where it's written mobile one...ML IS A 12 PLUG CAR AND A heavy engine...you can't use light oil which is Mobil 1 for it .. it's simple physics naaaa Not all Benz recommend that and also if the car is 2005 model or thereabouts it is mobile 2 because it's a bit heavier and the engine a bit old... Mobil 1 is for newer cars and engine...you can't be driving a2005 - 2010 car and be using mobile 1 , do you understand what is viscosity...these mechanics wouldn't tell you that As the car gets older the friction gets higher and the engine need a thicker oil with higher viscosity...it's simple physics But you can argue that if you want....that's why you say mobile one dries up...it is because it is designed for newer engine and it's lighter ! Well, keep wasting money on mobile 1 cor 2005 - 08 models 2 Likes 1 Share |

a very wonderful job here,pls I'm new here I just purchased a used2005 Benz c230k through a friend n it developed a brain box issue.n I can't find a match for d faulty one.can anyone help me out how to get this fixed. I was told water got inside d brain box while washing d engine,that was d actual cause of d damage. and d rewire has been trying to get a replacement, all to no avail. Pls help a brother. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by sacramento1212: 4:00am On Nov 20, 2019 |
AmuDimpka: Mercedes recommends Mobil 1 0w40 for the C230 he indicated. It's clearly written when you open the bonnet of the vehicle. Again i ask, which one is Mobil 2 and what's the viscosity? No need for long write up 1 Like |

eagle13:Brain box is available every where na brother. You don't need to look for it, I hope ur "rewire" knows what he's doing? He will not get the brain box as a single unit that match ur car without coding, it's almost impossible. What you need to do is either you get another C230 brain box and program it to work with your remote key or get a complete package that will include. 1. Brain box 2.remote key 3.sucker. 4. Hammer This is the only way I know u can go about this Pls note: Don't go and be calling ECU or speak big grammar for market pls, use the names as I've started them. 2 Likes |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by shortgun(m): 8:05am On Nov 20, 2019 |
AmuDimpka: Don't mind them with their fake Mobil 1 oil that dries up and kill ur engine. Anytime u say anything about oil they will start telling u that Benz recommends Mobil 1 as if ur car will pack up if you don't use Mobil 1. You can't even get the genuine Mobil 1. I always ask them if they also use premium unleaded fuel as recommended by Benz. I use the same oil as u do in my C320...car is over 8 years, engine still dey bring out water for exhaust. 1 Like |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Philadelphia: 9:59am On Nov 20, 2019 |
sacramento1212: The long write up you are referring to by AmuDimpka is very true. That is how Physics/Mechanics work. You are right that Mercedes recommends Mobil 1 0w40 for the C230 (recommendation as at when new) but not when the said car is 13 or 14 years old. Let me ask you, the HID lamps some people use on their cars, is it factory recommended? The PMS rating you use in driving your Mercedes, is it the Mercedes (Premium Unleaded petrol) recommended? Bros, na Physics here. If the engineers of the C230 were to come and give a recommendation on the appropriate viscosity for this 14 year old car today, it won't be Mobil I 0w40.

One thing about we Nigerians is that we don't understand the technology behinds engine oil.. An oil is recommended and written when the cylinder are still firing in top shape expecially on new vehicles that hasn't traveled up to 75,000 miles. most of those recommended sae are base on temperature of the region. The 0w20 is oil that I can't even recommend for anyone in Nigeria that his/her car already traveled abt 80,000 miles, this oil is very thin oil in nature and its recommended for mostly snow regions.. Do we have snow in Nigeria? The very best average oil for Nigeria weather is 5w30/ 5w40 this oil can circulate in your engine immediately u start up your engine and can hold to any temperature of the environment.. things we should also know is the engine year the engine year is determined by the API of the oil, you will find an Sae 5w30 oil in the market wit an api SL. An Api SL is adopted for 2001 engines. Sometimes car body will be 2005 and the api recommended would be SL its normal in oil tech... Forget about Mercedes said 0w20 or 5w20 and u will start calling to get Mobil 0w20. I am not here to argue am just saying what we need to knw about oil.. Very soon Mercedes would adopt using MANNOL OIL 5W40 on their engines. What am I even typing since self.. I am not a road side engine oil marketer, I have attended castrol engine oil seminar wit certification , total seminar wit certification... sacramento1212: 2 Likes
