Interesting ... watch the oil color through to your next oil change. I woudn't be surprised if it gets dirtier earlier than you are used to. My guess the cleaning qualities of this oil.

300ESUPER, I also believe your change to a 40wt contributes to an earlier stronger oil pressure.

BTW, the 91 300e had a similiar problem "Shaking problem on start up 1989 300E" and I hunted, just as you, for the cause.

It turned out to be a bad coil. Go figure. The new coil (after 240k miles) put it back where it was running properly.
