Hi guys,
Yes , sorry ,but another oil related question - I'm sure has been asked before but I cant find a definitive answer.
I know its expensive but have decided to put Mobil 1 0W-40 in my 2003 ML270 at the next oil change.
I have 2 options as far as I can tell:
Mobil 1 0W-40 turbo diesel
Mobil 1 0W-40 new life (marginally cheaper)
The mobil website recommends the new life for my vehicle (even though its a diesel).
Having read far more than I ever wanted to on oil, i'm still a little undecided. as far as i can tell, diesel specific variants have more detergents in, however am I correct in assuming that the newer modern day oils are now good for both petrol and diesel (and the diesel specific ones are now more for low ash/soot for correct DPF performance?) my car doesn't have a DPF.
My general thoughts were that I should go with the turbo diesel version until the mobil site added to the confusion and recommended the new life.
Anyone got an opinion on this please.
Thanks.
