★ Top Answer
The 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML350 has three engine options that require different types and amounts of oil. The 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo diesel needs 8.5 quarts of SAE 0W-30 full synthetic oil, while the two 3.5L 6-cylinder versions (gasoline and Flex Fuel) each need 7.4 quarts of SAE 0W-40. The diesel engine requires a specific type of oil, but the 3.5L engines provide more flexibility. For the 3.5L engines, you can use any 5W oil when it's above -13 degrees Fahrenheit. You have the option of using 10W when it's above -4 degrees, 15W at 5 degrees, and 20W if the temperature is above 23 degrees. This means that if you live in a warmer area, you might choose a different oil to save some money.

You are completely mistaken. Please refrain from spreading false information! It should be using 0W40 oil, at the very least, for the 3rd generation (2012-2015 model year) :)
