Looks like a 300SD 617 with 300K miles). They also crack their injectors at high load(at least it sounds like it).
MB specs out Mobil 1 0w40 or 15w50. From what I have seen from oil tests in 603/606's I don't see a problem with 10k mile changes provided synthetic is used. The entire FSS lawsuit was about this.
