You have several approved weights/brands of oil to choose from.
Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Operating Fluids (MB BeVo)
MB Sheet 224.1 - Viscosity classes of engine oils (car engines)
MB Sheet 223.2 - Prescribed Specifications for Service Fill Engine Oils in Passenger Car/ VAN engines - Mercedes-Benz, AMG, Maybach, Smart
(See: Diesel Engines - Worldwide - (a) in vehicles without particulate filter "DPF")
I'm currently running MB genuine 5W30 (229.52) in mine. Mobil 1 Formula M 5W40 (229.5) is what most dealers used for the E320 CDI early on.
