I tried Castrol 15W-40 in my car and the lifters formed a choir. I went back to Delo 15W-40 3600 miles later and I'm down to a soloist.

If you use the FSS, you have to use a full synthetic. I use Mobile 1 Turbo Diesel Truck in my car. As I remember, it's 5W-40.

Mobil brought back the 0w/40 European Blend too. It disappeared for a few years. That was our factory fill from 97 - 99.
Not certain if it is the exact same product ours were shipped with, but it does have the same name and meets spec........

The 5w40 oil is a bit thicker then the 0w40 oil and provides a bit more protection. I would go with the 5w40 personally, even though it doesn't have the official mercedes approval.

Change the NAME on the Container to:

Or Redline AND you'll be O.K. (Never Run ANY oil less than 5 (THAT'S FIVE,NOT ZERO) W 40 in a Diesel, NO MATTER WHAT STUTTGART SAYS!) [Unless you've got Their Check for R+R in your hand ,AND the Crated NEW Engine is sitting on a pallet in your Garage]
