[parkscon]

Hi guys I wondered if anyone knows if its ok to use Dexos 2 5w40 engine oil in my 2004 w211 e320 cdi and how many litres it will take

5w40 is fine, i checked the manual and you can use 0w40 if you want.

Is that for the V6 320 cdi engine.

If he has an I6 320 cdi it is 7.5 litres.

Yes mate v6 cdi

V6 is 8.5L oil I have one and have changed oil on it 3 times now 5W30 mobil1 fully synthetic is the best for me

For the first time I have used Millers fully synthetic..
VERY impressed with the engines smoothness as soon as the new oil was added.
I shall be using it in future..
Cheaper than Mobil 1 and MUCH cheaper than Castrol Edge !!

I bought it fron a local car accessory shop (Motorcare... Part of a large chain)..
I needed 2 x 5 litres because my car holds 8.5 litres...
I used the "Longlife fully synthetic 5W-40 and its £38.99 for a 5 litre Can.

Exceptionally good oil that was originally developed for Juggernaughts (Yes seriously)..
Have a read below..

Engine Oil, Car Oil, Gearbox oil, Gear Oil, Motorcycle oil, Motorbike Oil, Millers Oils

The actual oil I used is below.. Note it meets MB's Highest standard
