Check your owners manual. It will tell you what is the best oil to put in the car based on your temperature zone.

I have a c240 1999 w202 and I have a problem with my coolant level. I have been using the vehicle for a year without having to top up coolant but one day after traveling a 1000km the coolant level light came up and when I checked I realized it had gone down to just below the half level. I topped up with a liter of coolant and another of water. since then I have to top it at least once a week yet before this I had gone for almost a year without the level changing what could be the problem, it seems the are no visible leaks. please help.

If you live in the region where is hot weather you always use 5w-40 (any oil brand that meets Benz requirements ) for 1999 Mercedes ( it is recommended by Mercedes Benz).If you don't have 5w-40 then use 0w-40 that has the sign"european formula" any brand like Mobile 1 with eu formula, Penzoil with eu formula, Castrol with eu formula, etc. If you live in COLD region you will still use 5w-40 if you don't have it use 5w-30.
