15/40 rotella or similar diesel spec oils. No synthetics IMO. As far as the clips go there are tons of visor clips on fleabay...none for the 115 right now but I bet there is interchangeability between other models. Here is add that might be of interest http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/mercedes-used-parts-sale-wanted/358762-parting-1972-220d.htmlOtherwise place a want add in the classified section or hit the yards.

You don't say what you're location is. If you experience a real winter I'd recommend Rotella T6 5W40 synthetic. I use it in my 300D and my Kawasaki, and I used it in my 240D. The 300D doesn't have a block heater and will start into the teens.

You also have a two piece oil filter, make sure it is all there...

Also you need to change the oil in the injection pump and also clean and oil the air filter.
