Without knowing the exact powerplants and age of the car/van impossible to answer.

It's 2008 w906 311 CDI,200k on the clock...

311 CDI OM 646 EN 22 LA Series 4 2148 cm³ 80 kW (109 hp) at 3800 rpm 280 Nm at 1600-2400 / min 2006-2009
Engine oil will depend on whether the vehicle has a DPF or not . If it has it will require a low ash oil to 229.31 or 229.51

see Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Operating Fluids: Engine Oil, Gear Oil, ATF, Coolant, Brakefluid entry 223.2

Up to 100k 10w-40 shell was used, and yes think can switch to 229.52 5w30 spec...

If your engine is an OM651 it almost certainly has a DPF. Your vehicle needs a low SAPs[ ash] oil. Any oil that meets either MB 229.31 [short change interval]or MB 229.51[ extended interval] should be OK Specifications should be printed on the oil container labels. Beware counterfeit oil sold in original manufacturer containers. Best to buy from a reputable source. There are many bona fide online suppliers such as OPIE oils.

Too many fakes on ebay get it from a local supplier. It is the engine after all.

Personally I would stay clear of Castrol products. Mobil , Shell, Fuchs, Millers are better.
