2003 G270 463 Motor Oil Spec
Hi,
I'm limited on the synthetic motor oils I can find where I live. Does anyone know the oil spec number that I can cross check? I have Mobil Delvac 1 ESP readily available here, along with Castrol Edge Turbo Diesel. Both seem to be full synthetic.
Thanks,
Steve
To earnestly reply to your enquiry one needs to know a lot more like engine number or code, climatic conditions where you are at etc.
From the information you have provided I gather you have a 612.965 engine. If this is correct then oil recommendations by Mercedes is varied; these vary list from MB Oil Specs sheet 228.3, 228.5, 228.51, 229.3, 229.31, 229.5, 229.51 or 229.52.

Also:

This sheet shows from the oils brands you have listed that yours is a low ash oil and both brands should be a 5W/30 oil grade.and these meet MB Oil Spec sheet 229.52.
I hope this is of help.
