The 2008 Mercedes Benz C350 comes with a powerful 3.5 L V6 engine that can store up to 8.5 quarts of oil. To ensure top performance, it is recommended to use a fully synthetic 0w-40 oil or a standard 5w-30 oil that is API certified. Some models have the option to add an oil cooler, increasing the oil capacity to 9 quarts to account for the additional oil needed when the coolers are drained.
The 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class offers two trim levels, each with its own set of engine choices. The first is the 2008 Mercedes-Benz C300, which comes with three engine options: a 3.0L V6 (code 272.947 1 Flex), a 3.0L V6 (code 272.947 R), and a 3.0L V6 (code 272.947 T), all requiring 8.5 quarts of oil. The 2008 Mercedes-Benz C350 features a standard 3.5L V6 engine that also needs 8.5 quarts of oil. For engine codes 272.947 1 Flex and 272.947 T in the C300, and the 3.5L V6 in the C350, different oil weights and viscosities are recommended depending on weather conditions, such as 0W30/0W40 for most temperatures, 5W30/5W40/5W50 for temperatures above -13 F, and so on. Lastly, the C300's 3.0L V6 with engine code 272.947 R offers oil choices like 0W30, 5W30, 0W40, 5W40, and 5W50 for all local temperatures.
