• We use genuine OEM oils and filters and can confirm the exact spec for your vehicle during service to guarantee compatibility.

How much oil does a 2016 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT need?

• The 4.0L twin‑turbo V‑8 typically requires approximately 9.5–10.5 liters (roughly 10 liters) including the filter, depending on service procedures and whether a dry fill or filter change is included.
• Exact capacity can vary; our technicians verify the precise fill and top‑off levels using factory service guidelines and calibrated equipment.
