What are 280 sl owners using for engine oil?
I have a 1985 Mercedes 280 sl and need to add some oil to my engine ( via dipstick reading) and not sure what kind of oil is in there . It doesn`t need to be changed as of yet? just down a bit. What are you 280 sl owners using?

If you don't know whats in there, change the oil and filter. 10w40 oil would be fine.

As a matter of fact I do have a small oil leak from somewhere. This is not my cars most pressing problem at present. Need to get my flex discs looked at . Take a look at the posts under Driveline Noise if interested . Regards mister bill

In your climate I would go with 10/40 conventional.
