Oddball car, W115 body with the N/A 5 cyl diesel that became known from the 77+ cars. It has under 140,000 miles and was well maintained. Lots of bickering on the benz forums about proper oil weight, not many running 30wt. I ran Edge 0w40 in it previously for about 2 years and a few thousand miles. It's a great sping/fall call to drive. I wanted to switch to T4 because I have gallons of it sitting here next to 15w40 Delvac in my stash. I'd rather not use the thicker oil and rob any extra of the cars minimal 88 horsepower.
I also don't feel like this engine, with the aggressive gearing and low power, is really working hard enough to warrant a serious diesel oil. But, I'm not a diesel guy or a Benz guy so what do I know. I planned to run a UOA after 3k on T4, if I use it.
