Boy howdy did you ask the $64 Question Trish ! .
Everyone has an opinion on this but few have any real idea what they're talking about so much yelling and name calling always ensues whenever oil domes up .
Sort of like politics , knowhutimean ? =8-) .
Anyways , in the end , using a good quality oil and _HOT_ changing it along with the oil filter , will be sufficient to keep your soon to be beloved Mercedes running for years to come .
Synthetics are always better than the Dino based oils it was designed and built to use *but* they tend to find weeps & seeps moreso than do Dino based oils .
Me , I use the thinnest multi - viscosity Diesel rated oils I can find as I live in the Southwest and run all my engines _hard_ . 5W-whatever , not -50 as the polymer chain that allows 10W-50 is rather long and doesn't stand up well to harsh service .
I wish you were here around _MY_ birthday ~ I'd love some Parmisan Chicken ! =8-) .
