I have a 90 300E so I believe this would apply to your car as well. I go tthis answer from Glyn Ruck-Moderator on the W203 forum. When it comes to oil, Glyn is the authority.

"The old W124 was far less fussy on lubrication than modern Mercs.

Engine would be fine on Mobil 1 0W-40

Transmission runs on Dexron III

Fuchs TITAN ATF 4000 Fuchs Petrolub AG, Mannheim/Deutschland was approved at that time & still holds a listing."
