Engine oil for 1999 c240

[240-singh]

Wouldn't bother with 0w-40 Fully sny oil. The 240 engine tends to drink a bit of oil, and the thin oil won't help the situation especially at 92k.

I would stick with a decent brand semi syn 10w40, and save a few £s in the process.

thanks mate. yeah i was thinking to go semi syn cos of the mileage. ive read somewhere that 10w-50 would be good also. whats the difference between 10w-40 and 10w-50? which should i go for?

thanks.
