Just had my car in for the 1000km check (its actually done 2500km). This morning I decided to check my oil, the level is right on the MIN mark. So firstly I don't think they checked this even though its stated on the receipt.
I'll have to ask them what they use as this will allow me to top-up. Otherwise I really have no choice but to change the oil and filter soon.
Q: Although not recommended can oils be mixed if they meet the same specification.
I'd prefer to change completely but the only one I can get readily is "Shell Helix Ultra Extra 5W-30":

Requirement in manual is:
"that meet the requirements of Chrysler Material
Standard MS-11106, and that are approved to
Mercedes Benz MB 229.31 or MB 229.51 and
ACEA C3"
It isn't clear to me whether this oil is "Approved" for all those as the datasheet outlines it exceeds the requirements. Just don't want a warranty issue down track...
thoughts?
thanks
