Hello there

I'm in Taiwan, a place where 365 day / an year always like summer in Las Vegas. Hot! Hot!

should I use "mobil 1 extended performance" 15W-50 on my 2003 ML350 here or mobil1 0w-40

which works better in hot place?

please advise, thanks

Here's a list of approved oils http://www.whnet.com/4x4/oil.html The choice is up to you. My 2 cents.

Strongly Recommend You Use 15w50. I Am In Texas And A Distributor Of Lubricants Here And In California.

Personally I Use 15w40 Conventional Diesel Oil In My Ml + Clk 430
& Mitubishi Montero.

Reason It Has Highest Additive Package, And Is A Typical Oil Used In Cross Country Trucks Throughout The Usa Who Run Over 1,000,000 + Miles On A Typical Engine.

Further These Oils Are Rated To Allow For 20 - 30,000 Miles Between Oil Changes. ( Sure I Change Mine At 3000 ) But The Point Is The Quality Of The Additive Package Allows These Oils To Preform At Levels Beyond The Synthetic Hype.

Note, Diesel Trucks In There Natural Service Allow Fuel To Enter The Oil. This Causes Sulfer Factors Which Must Be Countered By The Oil Itself. Hence The Extremely High Additive Packages Used In These Oils.

Fyi Some Major Brands: Shell: Rotella -t; Chevron Delo 400; Mobil Delvac.
