How grand are chances that the plastic guide break off?
I had these parts changed on a W109 that was 45 year old.... this car is new with 24 years in comparison.... who knows.

I ran that oil year around in my 400E. I misspoke earlier its actually the Rosella T6 synthetic I used but yes its still the same oil as folks use in their diesel MB's. I ran that oil year round without any issues and I'm pretty sure the gentleman who I sold the car to is doing the same. If you want to keep conventional oil the regular Rosella T will work fine as well.
I don't have enough experience with the M119 to know how long the guides last but it is something to be aware of.
