Oil Question
Hello,
I have a 2000 c240 and its about 78000 miles. This car uses 15w50 semi synthetic oil , the car consumes a little bit of oil, i want to full it up.
But i cannot get the 15w50 oil anywhere so my question is what other oil can i use just to fill it? Can i use a 10W40 semi synthetic or other viscosity?
Im afraid that the mix will cause damage to the engine.

This is the C36 and C43 forum. Best to post your question on the W202 forum 
Recommend to mix with a semi or full synthetic oil. It will NOT damage your engine. How much oil does you motor burn?
Try the Mobil 0W-40 SAE which is the recommended brand for our engines. Expensive but excellent
