2015 Mercedes ML250 BlueTec Diesel, 169,988 miles.... 7,000 miles on the outgoing OCI.
Shell Rotella T6 10w30, 7quarts
Premium Guard Extended Life Filter
Why Rotella this time??? Well, I live WAY out in the country and I rarely get to town these days. Just don't like crowds of people and hate traffic. Anyway, I go out to the barn to look through my oil stash, knowing I have 2-3 jugs of Pennzoil Euro L...... but I can't find any of it. I guess I am getting old, as I probably told myself it was time to buy some more 7,000 miles ago.
So... I go to Plan B and I have three choices... SuperTech 15w40, Shell Rotella T4 15w40, Shell Rotella T6 15w40 or Shell Rotella T6 10w30..... The 10w30 got the nod.
First oil change in the life of this car that she isn't getting a Euro Diesel Oil. But she just turned 11 years old, is way, way, way out of warranty and I know T6 is a phenomenal oil. So I am NOT going to worry one bit..... Just drive her as I always do.

Was at the dealer to have a body alignment adjustment, so had them use one of their complimentary oil changes and tire rotations.
**Requested 5W-30 and service advisor and tech agreed to use it.
