Mecedes Benz Oil

[tcb180]

Just bought 10 litres of engine oil from the well known ebay seller. I'm only 9miles away but free delivery happy days.

Just to confirm they are a Mercedes Franchise and the oil is delivered with a typical Mercedes Invoice.

I'm well pleased anyway.

Who is the well known Ebay seller?

I think this is a pretty good deal (and there are others on Ebay)

That's £2.75 per L.

It retails for £15 in 1L bottle.

So yes, it's a good price...

I ordered 5 ltrs and 20 arrived with an invoice for 5

Just bought some of that oil also for my Vito half the price of any equivlent so 2 oil changes for the price of one.

Also just ordered 20 l of ATF:

Its normally a £10 a litre so i needed 10 litres - this is the same price for 20 litres as it would have cost me for 10- so enough for 2 ATF changes and flush

Hi,
Recently I bought a similar 20L from MB Newcastle, ordered on the Monday, delivered on the Wednesday and 7.3 litres in the in the sump on Friday. Mine was £53.98, cheap enough to give the old girl more frequent changes. Happy Days.

Euro Commercials Newport Gwent. Mercedes Van & Truck Franchise. Can't fault the service and price.

That's the one I bought. Only 10litres.

Just a heads up... I bought this 20 l "genuine" Mercedes oil but this is what I received. I asked a full refund as this oil is in bulk container and most likely not genuine.

From?

The bulk containers are usually for the dealers and not retail as such so would not have branding on them

They also may have filled from a larger drum?

EDIT: My bad, didn't click on the link, doesn't look like the one pictured in the ebay ad

I can understand the OP not wanting to pour into his engine something that he can't verify... yes I would either return it or seek some reassurances as to what it is.

Exactly, doesn't look like the one on the ebay ad. I thought the same about filling it from a drum... but really can't trust this stuff in my car's engine.

+1 waiting for seller's respond. If he can't prove the originity of the oil I will be returning and get a full refund.

Yes, it would be very difficult to trust a bulk filled generic container even if it came from an original drum containing the authentic article.

Mercedes Benz of Newcastle would probably be an anxiety free purchase
