No. The MB approved oils for your MB diesel are, in decreasing order of desirability: 5w40, what is now called "Turbo diesel truck" 15w50 0w40 Thats it...

Mobil 10W-40 High Mileage is NOT a group IV synthetic oil (like the Mobil 1 oils) and while it is API CF rated it is NOT approved for Mercedes engines (may not have ever been tested)! http://www.mobil.com/USA-English/Lubes/PDS/GLXXENPVLMOMobil_Clean_High_Mileage.asp I'd use Delvac 1300 or Chevron Delo 400 if you don't want to use a real synthetic.
