If you want to be a purist, then Molbil 1, plugs and filters from Mercedes. However Shell 10w/40 semi synthetic oil and filters from such places as Euro Car Parts may suffice. My own preference for oil is Millers XSS semi synth 10w/40.

I'd go with that, good stuff.

I just changed mine again Saturday. Mobil 1. £19.99 for 4 Ltrs from Costo x 2, plus vat.

Only 6K miles since last change, but at 78K miles, I think it is worth it.

Was also very smelly with petrol dilution
