Hello all,

This question probably gets asked alot on here but I cant seem to get a solid conclusion.
Which oil is the best to use for this particular engine?
I can get the oil and filter through work you see and I have a mate who works in a German specialist garage who will change the oil for me.
So I was going to treat the car too some proper good quality oil!
Question is which one!!
Do I stick with manufacturers which says Mobil 1 or shell helix??
Any opinions or help would be great!

Being fair I never even considered looking at the Mercedes genuine oil, so that one is the best one to go for?
Over the mobil 1 stuff!

I currently have Mobil 1 in my car but it is due a service in Jan so I will be using this stuff

I bought a full MB service kit for my e270. All engine filters oil and sump plug from a mercedes main dealer off eBay for 50 quid with free postage. Unbelievable value. Did it myself. So a full service only cost me 50 quid.

Keep looking on eBay.
