94 E320 - require Syn oil or dino?
On my new to me 94 E320, did this car initially used synthetic oil from the factory, or was dino oil used? Thanks.

I believe you car came with dino oil from the factory. It wasn't until 1996 or 97 that synthetics were factory fills.

Dino was standard even later than that. Hence the lawsuit about 98 and 99 cars with FSS using dino with long change intervals.

Please avail yourself of the search function for "dino oil" or "synthetic oil", and you'll be happily (or unhappily) reading these posts for weeks on end.

OMG, edge. I thought you knew better than to ask that. Now this could be fun. Let's have a ten page thread jumping all over him for asking the question, and nobody answer it.

Your Oil Question: Dino vs Syn
Edge,
I woud recommend going back and deleting your question. Then do a search. Save the threads, find a long weekend and start reading. After you have done that, simply decide for yourself. In a nutshell this specific topic has been beaten to death with strong opinions both ways. With all due respect, Haasman
