Best oil for W211 E320 CDi

[Razoo]

Hi, I recently purchased a 2004/04 W211 E320 CDi and I'm trying to establish which engine oil I should be using.

The VIN No. is WDB2110262A606222.

The engine is currently using Mobile 1 0W40 Supersyn. However, my local Mercedes Dealership says I should be using Mobile 1 5W30 ESP (low ash). I don't think I agree with this as the vehicle is not Euro 4, which I believe means it does not have a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) and therefore doesn't need a low ash oil.

My research suggests that Mobile 1 0W40 Supersyn is superior to Mobile 1 5W30 ESP, the latter being slightly compromised by less detergent/additives, necessary to achieve the low ash rating.

Am I correct to continue using Mobile 1 0W40 Supersyn, or is my logic flawed?

TIA,

Razoo

Welcome to the forum, stay with 0w 40 that meets 229.5 either the Mobil or shell Helix

The 0w 30 is for colder climates

OK, thanks for the advice.

I expect there'll be more questions
