Where/what engine oil to buy W211 cdi
Hey folks, probably do an engine oil change tonight or tomorrow night, have filters already but unsure what oil to buy.
I want to buy local rather than order and wait, so walmart, autozone, O'reillys, pepboys etc. I'd rather stick to synthetic for my car. I'm in norcal. Thanks!

I have researched online and found I need 229.51 Benz spec oil but unsure where to get this (want to avoid dealer $$$).

Walmart.....Mobil 1 0W40
It is approved oil and best price. Comes in 5 quart jugs for $23.50 here in OH.

How about transmission?
I've read several sources that state that Valvoline Maxlife ATF can be used in the 722.6 transmission and is an approved oil.
Is this good? I plan on doing the transmission soon too. Thanks!

Pop your hood. There's likely a Mobil 1 sticker there.

I run Rotella T6 5-40 in the engine, change it every 13,000 when the dashboard tells me. Make sure you get the right oil filter, many of the online websites have it wrong in their database, you have to make sure you get the long one. The short one is for gassers.
In the tranny, I did fluid/filter change around 200k, put in Shell 134, but I couldn't find it any cheaper than about $10/qt

First answer is correct one ;-)
M1 0w40 is 229.51 approved. ESP is not necessary for 2005-6 CDIs. Best value for ow40 is at Walmart nationwide.
X2: Shell 134 is only ATF I found at reasonable cost here in US.
