If the PO was using synthetic oil I would recommend Mobil 1 15W50. That is the oil I have used in our MB engines of that vintage for the past 18 years.

Going through receipts it looks like they switched to synthetic later in it's life, but had a few dino changes in the mix. It's never gone more than 5,000 miles without an oil change since new, so that's refreshing to see.
10w-40 Shell euro was used during winter, and 15w-50 during summer.
I'm going to change the oil today, with Delo 400 dino 15w-40, only because I have a bunch leftover. I will drain it at 3500 miles, and have the oil tested. I drive a BUNCH, and wouldn't want to exceed 5,000 miles on an oil change in one of these. it's hard to beat Delo in this situation.....
Appreciate the input!
