Australian Engine Oil Specifications
Oil consumption on my new 220CDI for the first 2,700 KM is approx .8 of a litre therefore my thoughts of a top up soon.
The MB service manager recommended Mobil 1 ESP Formula 5w-30-Emission System Protection.
In a 20 litre drum this costs around $190 in the city or + $10 for freight in the bush.
Therefore about $65 per 6.5 litre oil change. MB oil filter quote was $30.

Hi Carsy. I have email'd MB today to try and get a definite answer to the question of which oil is right for which car. When/if I get a response I will post the response.

I have a C220CDI. Marshalls Parramatta, Sydney told me to use Mobil 1 0w-40 oil for top-ups. Now I'm confused. 5w-30 or 0w-40?
