I have just purchased a 2004 model W220 Series S32O diesel in beautiful gold colour. Please can I have some help with recommended oil and specification, can I use an oil that meets MB229.51
I was thinking of using Gulf ULE 5W30, will that be OK please?
Thanking you

As long as it meets MB 229,3 the spec at the time you will be fine!

The car is 2004.
If your saying Mobil 1 oil has poor oil performance parameters you are talking a load of bull.

58 ML-320CDI.
I think what he is saying is that that particular formulation is an old one, even Mobil have newer formulations that would also suit.

I'm talking about the spec , it's old , the performance peramiters will be down on the one's that came after it .
