2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 oil type and capacity
The 2023 U.S. GLA owner's manual lists the following oil approvals and oil-change quantity for its covered models. Check your vehicle's manual and VIN, particularly if it was supplied for a different market.
Oil and filter change
The U.S. owner's manual lists 5.8 US quarts (5.5 liters) for an oil change with the filter. It lists MB-Approval 229.51, 229.52, 229.61, 229.71 and 229.72; the manual recommends the marked 229.72 specification for lowest fuel consumption, subject to approved viscosity restrictions.
The hosted 2023 GLA250 Base and 4MATIC fluid tables both list approximately 5.80 US quarts (5.48 liters) and Mercedes-approved oil. Their metric figure differs slightly from the owner's manual's rounded 5.5 liters. Follow the correct service procedure and check the level; do not use the capacity as a substitute for a level check.

The owner's manual identifies the oil-change-with-filter scope and approval numbers. The two hosted fluid tables label their quantities approximate and do not give a numbered approval.
