Call the dealership.

Me personally in my C280. I use Shell Helix Plus 15W-50.

It all depends on your location & driving habits.

Original head gasket? If so, I'd def. go with a good, thick synthetic. My choice is Mobil 1 extended life, 15w50. Change it every 5k

A couple things - have you been using full synthetic in the car? Or is on dino, which if that's the case I'd stick to that.

I ran 5W40 on my 202 as SoCal temps are pretty darn warm. You can always go with the manufacturer's suggested weight if you want to veer on the safe side.
