C220 CDI -- is it fitted with a particulate filter?
In Australia, does anybody know if a particulate filter is installed on C220 CDI's?
The reason I'm asking is that I would like to top-up the oil in my engine but am not sure what grade of oil to use. The owner's manual have different MB specs for diesel engines with or without pariculate filters.
