Correct Engine Oil

[SouthendSupporter]

Hi
I do feel a tad idiotic asking this question but I have spent 30 minutes looking at my Owners manual and Service book and cannot find the answer

Just bought an 05 plate C280 avantguarde estate and want to know the correct engine oil spec to use.
The service booklet talks about MB 229.1, 229.3 229.5 "depending on engine".

But nowhere can I find which one applies to my car!

The oil company sites I have searched come up with
MOBIL 1 NEW LIFE 0W-40
Castrol EDGE 0W-40 A3/B4

Any recommendations?

Try giving Sebastian at Moto-Oil.co.uk a call on 01202-980592 He is a very helpful Guy, mention I suggested you call him for advice, pretty sure he will be able to help.
