Today I am picking up a 1984 Mercedes 300SD and reviewing my motor oil choices. On Mercedes forums they are recommending Rotella T6 full synthetic. I have two questions about this. First, do you recommend anything in the same price range that would be better and
Second: I notice on the bottle it says 15 years or 500K miles guarantee. Can any of you tell me what that's about? They're not suggesting that you can go that long without changing it.. I'm pretty certain about that.
As far as frequency, I'm told that 5K is a good time to change the oil. Do ya'll agree with this and when I do change should I change the filter every time as well despite their mileage guarantees? In my gas cars I've gone with Mobil 1 and the top line Fram filter and changed both at about 6k.
Filter recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks
