I strongly suggest Mobil 1 15-40 or 0-40. These are the two highest rated oils by MB, andthe only two that pass their most stringent testing. If you want more information, try searching on www.mbz.org. As a mercedes diesel owner, I highly reccommend joining the MB Diesel list at that website. It is an excellent source of information from many other experienced DIY MB owners. They have a great catalogue of information at that website, and a link to the cheapest parts available for mercedes. Hope this doesn't sound like too big a plug, but as an owner of a '76 MB 240D I don't know how my car would be running without the help of that list. It's a great source for someone trying to keep a great old car running. And, I think it's great for there to be more biodiesel enthusiasts on that site, showing other diesel owners the benefits of biodiesel.
