I am not sure that the 1998 is covered. The owner's manual for my 1998 E320 clearly states to use synthetic oil. And in the engine compartment there is a very visible sticker that also mentions the use of synthetic oil.

I too have seen the letter that you mention, but I can't remember what it says about the 1998 MY.
