I was going through the records on the 2001 e55 I just got and see that the previous owner had the oil changed at some "jiffy lube" type place and they put 10w30 in the car (only has about a thousand miles on the oil). Obviously, I need to get that crap out and replace it with the regular Mobil 1. Do I need to have the engine flushed or anything else?? Where should I have this done; MB Dealer?? I'm in Seattle if anyone nows of a good independent shop.
thanks for the help.

Honestly I don't see what the big deal is - change it and put in what you want.

Thanks. This is the first car I've had with synthetic oil, so I wasn't sure if it was a big deal switching oil types. I seem to recall something from way back when synthetics first came out that if you mixed them it would cause the oil to "sludge". I guess that's not the case. Thanks.

I would do an engine flush but I am really **** about that kind of thing. Its probably ok just to change it back.

He is right, flushing it will only do more harm to your engine
