460 Lubricants
I have found that the lubricants specified in the owner's manual are now, in some instances, hard to find. I attach a document from Mobil (ignore the yellow highlighting, that was me) which sets out their applicable products for the 460. I hope this helps.

Tractor oil is the answer.
M
Regardless on what is, and what in not availble Dan, what ever oil you want get your local Motor factor to to look up in their reference book from their oil suppliers to recommend which oil will be suitable to do the job.
Their reference is comprehensive.
Bear in mind that oils specified by M/benz would be more suitable for new vehicle with relatively low mileages, say less 50,000 miles. Most 460 and even 463 on the road have far exceeded that mileage, in which case it would be o.k. to go to thicker viscosity oils like 15W/40, 15W/50, very worn engines >150,000 miles go for 20W/50. These are Mineral based oils, do not opt for semi or fully-synthetic oils, they would be too thin.

Fuchs manufactures many of the OEM lubricants, particularly for transmissions. Here's where you can get a full set of details for any car:

The 3353 ATF is that developed for the latest 7-speed auto-transmissions and is downwards compatible with the rest, 5 and 4 speeders.
