[MBZ] M119 oil

2015-05-31 Thread Mitch Haley via Mercedes
Need to change the oil in the 1997 S420. Already have driven it almost 500 miles with who knows what in the sump, probably 5w30 dino oil. Made the trip to WallyWorld, home of the cheap Mobil 1, and found: 0W40 Euro car formula $24/5qt IIRC, this is the stuff that many 60x diesel owners have

This is in general, not MB Specific: I don't know where the break is, somewhere around mid 90s to 2000, but post 2000 gas engines need thin oil, and 15-50 may do damage, unless it is really worn. most are 0W-20 and some are 0W-30. Consult the owners manual and the approved oils list for MB
