Oil (again)

[Dieter]

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can buy Mobil 1 ESP Formula M 5W-40? (best oil for current V6 diesels).

Unfortunately MB Dealers charge by ltr (although I bet they buy it by larger quantities) so I'd rather supply a couple of 5 ltr's worth and get a 'free' engine oil flush (with monies saved by 'bulk' purchase etc.).

Cheers,

This is the one that hits the MB229.51 long-life spec for the V6 diesels with DPF (and gets the 12,500 mile base setting in Assyst).

I got the last lot from them next day delivered (although the manual says 8.5L for a change, only 8L fits in to the high mark on the stick - therefore this "pack" conveniently gives two service changes).

Oh, and also saves you at least £120 versus the stuff supplied by the dealers...

Halfords don't stock the .51 - at least not near me....
