Oil for a w123, what is the preferred?

I'm changing my oil tomorrow or wednesday and I'm wondering what is the preferred oil used by W123 owners?

I've heard it is Shell Rotella.

I guess it depends on climate. In Virginia it doesn't get too cold. I thought about posting a poll, actually i will, but i don't know all the oils to include.

Thanks for your help

eric

I have been using Delo 400 for the past year. Today I switched to Rotella T Synthetic, since it should make cold starts easier for me.
