I just watched your video on changing the oil on this model of Benz. I have a hard time knowing for sure the oil weight. What is the recommended weight for this car?

According to my manual, you can use any of the following:

0w30
5w30
5w40
0w40

If you are in a colder climate, I recommend either of the 30 weights. In hot climates, go to the 40 weights.
