I will be putting Mobil one in my 99 V6 at the next change, although the general thought is any good fully synthetic is a good choice

Chevron 5w-40w fully synth works fine in mine. Cheaper than Mobil 1. £11 /4litres at costco.

The recommended viscosity is 5w-40 which will be a fully synthetic.
Quality varies but an MB 229.3 approved one is the better spec oil.

No Thankyou Mr. Benz
MB use CASTROL GTX MAGNATEC according to a receipt I got with my car.
I also see they take 1.7 hours to change the plugs. Thats £161.50 + Vat for the labour.
I'll change my own, thankyou Mr. Benz.

Oil & Filter
Just changed the above Oil filter from MB No. A1021840501. cost £5.64 inc vat. and the Oil 5w-40 fully synthetic 4x5 litres £54, of Ebay see enclosed attachment If it has worked??. Oil filter half the size of the one taken out but am assured is the correct replacement. If you want a laugh type in the filter ref No. and look at a German site with great tranclation.LOL.
Merc is a 1990 230E W124 Auto. If the pics of the Oil have been sent ok I will try a photo of the Beast.

But how long does it take (presuming opening and closing bonnet is already included in the A or B service price)
Yea Peter, that was highlighted on the receipt? Probably explaining why 1.7 hours.
£15.81 a plug labour (discounted) (Usually about a score a piece) Emm!!
