For awhile I would buy the 5 qt. jug and refill used qt. bottles to keep in my trunk. Don't have room for the large bottle in my trunk.

I honestly couldn't tell you whether or not 15w-50 is any better than 5w-30. It's sort of like vitamins or herbal supplements: you read the reports and take it on faith.
I have to that if you read the MB owner's guide for your car, and the oil you use meets or exceeds the needs of the climate where you are driving per the MB manual, you gotta be ok.
