What 6 letters for a Diesel Vanity License Plate?

I found out that vanity License Plates out here are like $60 vice $150 back on the West Coast so I just maybe get some. I have a restored, repainted Midnight Blue 1985 300D. I need some help for some Diesel Oriented Vanity Plates.
I have kicked over:
"FIXEDUP" (too many letters)
"IMBLUE" ( my 85 300D is midnight blue)
"DIESEL" ( probably grabbed long ago)
"DEISEL" or "DIESAL" ( looks like Diesel)

but I need help!

OM617. Only the real MB geeks would figure that one out.

I have 2 of 'em with vanity plates:

OL BENZ

and

OEL MTR

I don't think OM 617 would fly in Texas. Too much like a regular alphanumeric plate.

I'm thinking now that Michigan is going to the white plates with blue lettering of just getting a vanity that matches my front German Euro Plate.....
