Actually I was just passing on a good reference. Since I cannot find 10w40 Mobil 1 (except for the high mileage oil), I needed a reference to what grade to use in my FSS 119 engine. It looks like MB says the SM/CF or SL/CF, 229.5 or 229.3 rated oils are OK to run in the FSS 119 engine. Either 0w40 or 5w40 will replace the 15w40 or 10w40 Mobil 1 that they used to recommend.
I know "OIL WARS" can bring out the froth in everyone and I usually stay clear!
I run Amsoil in my Harley and may switch to it in the MB
Now that I just changed the oil with 10w30 Mobil 1 Geeeesh
...and what is the thing with the fleece filter? Is this a diesel thingy?
Tks
