amsoil!!!!
Amsoil sells real good oil. Mobil supplies them with the raw oil and
they concoct the additive package. The tribologists at Mobil say the
additive package is really great for some special situations (like
racing and other severe operating situations). There is NO evidence that
the additive package that Amsoil uses is of ANY benefit under more
normal operating conditions and the longevity of Amsoil (or Mobil 1) is
of no value in a Mercedes diesel since the oil must be changed to get
rid of the soot LONG before the oil or additives wear out. When you can
get Amsoil for the same price as Mobil 1, I see NO problem using it, but
if it costs more, go with Mobil!
