I've heard a lot of opinions, but cant really find any info. My owners manual reads to use anything from 10w - 20w50 with all kinds of vescosity in between.

I've heard from other MB owners, who swear by 30w, but I would prefer your recommendations.
I have no favorite brand but I always use 15W40 diesel rated oil with soot control
