A fully synthetic oil is best like Mobil 1 or Castrol edge sport. Look for the numbers 229.5 or 299.51 on the can.

If your car has a DPF then you will need a low ash oil.

My W211 E320 really ran very, very smoothly on the Castrol edge oil.. It actually ran better on the Castrol than it dod on whatever MB used !!
On a slighltly different subject my B 180 Cdi runs far smoother on Millers oil than it does on the MB stuff..
I have always loved the Millers oil for diesels..

Will be in your owners guide. Any oil that meets 229.31 or 229.51 is for cars with DPF.

Its just some are 0w and some are 5w but none seem to say low ash so I was getting a little confused?

The grade has nothing to do with it being low ash. 229.31 and 229.51 = low ash

This may help the OP - you can search for your car and it will give recommendations:

Looks like 5W30W is what yoyu are looking for, something with a wider range (ie 0-30 or 5-40) will help in either very cold(former) or hot(latter) weather
But for the UK, you should be fine with 5-30.
