The recommended oil type and capacity for the 2004 Mercedes-Benz C-Class with a 1.8L inline-4 engine is 5w-30 and 5.8 quarts. Using high-quality oil is crucial to keep the engine running smoothly. Neglecting oil maintenance can lead to engine issues like knocking noises, poor gas mileage, or a burning odor, which should be addressed promptly to prevent potential hazards. It is essential to change the oil every 5,000 to 10,000 miles to ensure optimal engine performance and prevent damage. Failure to do so could result in serious engine problems.

    In 2004, the Mercedes-Benz C230 with a 1.8L inline-4 engine uses 5.8 quarts of synthetic oil. The C240 model from the same year has two versions of the 2.6L V6 engine. The one with engine code 112.912 1 requires 7.9 quarts of oil, while the version with engine code 112.912 4 needs 7.4 quarts of synthetic oil. Mercedes-Benz recommends using oil with viscosities of 0W30, 5W30, 0W40, 5W40, or 5W50 for these vehicles.
