Short answer: NO. Long answer: MB approved oils are xW-40 or xW-50. Anything xW-30 is too thin, no matter what silly "rating" is on the bottle, or what Mobil claims on the label. Also, the current M-1 Truck & SUV is NOT approved, as it is 5W-30, and therefore too thin. You want the new M-1 Turbo Diesel Truck variety, which is 5W-40.
Stick with either the 5W-40 or 15W-50 if you use Mobil-1. -dm > ------------------------------ > Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 08:35:29 -0600 > From: "LT Don" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [MBZ] Is M-1 0W-30 approved MB oil? > > > I seem to remember some folks using "approved" 0-W-30 back when the other > choice was 15-W-50.
