Mobil1 0W-40 (best) or any other 229.5-approved synthetic. See list:

Also, 15W-40 meets the same spec. The other grades like 10W-40, 5W-30 do not. You can get 15W-40 in the 5 qt. container at Wal-Mart for $23 or $24 dollars.

Use the correct Oil. You can get the exact Mobile one that the dealers use,
229.5-approved synthetic, at Kragens for $$4.99 a qt. This is the Euro formual, (says MB right on the specs)

Yes there are, but I did not know Kragens had it, and a good price.
Elemnt, 229.5 is a MBZ spec. For more info go here.

The 97 did not have a spec for synthetic oil. I would use AMSOil over Mobile 1. I would not go with a 0W oil in an older car becuase you may find leaks that you did not know you had before. Use the same weight as you do now like 10W-30.
