Factoring in the hot climate and the addition of forced induction, go with a slightly heavier weight. 10W-30, or 10W-40 at most would make the car happy under normal operating conditions.
On cold mornings, let the car warm up and circulate the thicker oil for three to five minutes before hooning it. Not really critical, but helps a little for engine longevity.
Stay with one of the recommended oils by Benz. Your vehicle falls under MB lubrication specification 229.5. There are several oils which are approved (the dealer closest to me uses Mobil 1 0W40 European Formulation).
the recommended is mobil1 5/40
