Mercedes-Benz GLA Engine Oil Guide Malaysia — M270/M260/M264
X156 M270 uses MB 229.5 (5W-30); H247 M260 (GLA180) needs MB 229.6 (0W-20); H247 M264 (GLA200/250) needs MB 229.51. Match oil to engine — wrong spec causes premature wear in Malaysia's heat.
Oil spec on GLA depends on engine and generation. X156 GLA with older M270 2.0T uses MB 229.5; later M270 1.3T uses MB 229.51. H247 GLA with M260 2.0T uses MB 229.6. Always verify with the service booklet or build plate.
