Large ships burn motor oil as fuel every day. I don't see your Mercedes doing any harm to the environment.

I would worry about the fuel system though. Small metal particles suspended in the oil passing through the injection pump and injectors can't be a good thing. I wonder if diesel fuel contains abrasives that can't filtered by the fuel filters as well.
