Mobil 1 5/10W30 doesn't meet any MB specs and should not be used in any Mercedes.
Hmm i thought for sure the bottle of 5w30 i bought said it was used in AMG mercedes. Im going downstairs to see if i still have the container. But i think a UOA will tell me what the ill effects the oil has had in the engine. Ill plan on having one done by the next oil change.

And no way will i run 15w40 in the M119, i think MB is nuts for putting that oil in the gasser. But thats just me. Some of the guys on the gasser section of the forum reported oil leaks with delo 400 15w40 because of its detergents.

So far the car doesnt drip a bit of oil and i dont want it dripping oil on the driveway as ive washed off all the diesel oil from the leaky SD that i had.
