My father has recently purchased a 1998 C230. I would like to know what grade of oil is recommended and is there a special tool to remove the oil filter. Will a cup style oil filter wrench work and if so what size? The owners manual it came with is from a 1999 which would be the Kompressor. Is the quantity and grade the same?

Sorry for all the questions,
Steve
