I'm just wondering what oil to use in my '74 450SL running on LPG.
Car runs on 10W40 right now, just wanted to know if this is the right viscosity for this engine.
On the mercedes forums they mostly use 10w40, but my mind keeps saying 15w40 or 15w50.
Can get Total oil for very low prices, so that will be my preference.
Should I stick with dino oil? don't want it to leak more than it does now ( not much, but a little from the crankshaft seal )
Mileage is 197.000 miles ( yes, it's imported from california to Holland )
Thank you guys for your opinions.
