Hi everyone and thanks in advance for helping,
I just bought a Mercedes w210 E320 year 1999 (facelift). I have difficulties finding the right engine oil.
If I know which Oil grade should I use, it makes it easy to choose the right oil from the sheets provided by MB website.
But it's very unclear which grade should be used for my (Engine 112941), most threads I read on this (and other forums) advice 229.5 with fleece filter. But on my Service book says I must use only 229.1,
So I was confused between 229.3 and 229.5 until I read my service book, now I'm totally confused.
Should I stick to the 229.1? Or do I have to go with the newer grades 229.3 and 229.5?
Thank you
Ayad
