Redline or Amzoil

Mike,

Do yourself a favor and run a real Synthetic like Redline or Amzoil in your Mercedes (for sure in your long service interval components like rear axle and trans). Castrol Syntech and Mobil 1 are both really good oils, but not truely synthetic as far as I'm concerned. Its been quite a hot topic on the Forum.

More info about synthetic than you need:
