What is the name of the best oil for E320 CDIs?
There is a brand of oil that I think was made in Germany for Mercedes Diesels, I think the name started with an "L".... If anyone knows please tell me!

Gotta love oil threads....
Delvac 1300 15w40 is not full synthetic. Delvac 1 ESP IS full synthetic and is 5w40, not 15w40. Anything that meets 229.5 spec is fine....as are several oils that don't meet that particular spec (Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5w40 and Shell Rotella T6 come to mind). Now that my huge supply of M1 TDT is depleted, I'm going with M1 0w40 European formula. $22 for 5 qt. jug at Walmart.

Was not aware of Delvac extreme. Thanks for bringing it to my attention Jim.
Mobil apparently likes to keep us guessing.

Actually, any oil works in the diesels. But why take chances??
