I found that Mobil 1 ESP 5w30 is the correct oil for my w164 320cdi. Is there a better option ?
Thanks

I do not know this one, MB have been switching around again and back to Mobil, I would have said that oil that meets 229.5 was the correct one.

Depends on whether it has a DPF, if it does you need a 229.51 low ash oil.

Have used Mobil 1, Shell Helix and one of the QX oils - I haven't noticed any difference between them.
