Hello everyone!
First I will write about my car:
- it's Mercedes AMG C30 diesel 3.0 2003. Base engine is 2.7 CDI but AMG drilled it to 3.0l and add water intercooler. Turbocharger is bigger then 2.7CDI.
From the begining it was driving on Castrol SLX professional Longtec 0W30. After 100k km mileage I wrote mail to AMG Germany and ask what kind of oil I should use. They wrote to me that should be xW40. After that I was talking about it with very good specialist/engineer form Castrol laboratories. He suggest to change to 5W40 Motul 8100 X-MAX.
I changed oil to this Motul but right now I have big problem to buy it in POLAND ;-(
I have to change it to different one. I have big dilemma.
Aditionally I must to write that oil consumption is bigger on Motul 5W40 then Castrol 0W30 ;-(.
Could You help me what kind and which brand I should buy?
Pls remember that this engine is little modify by AMG.
Right now mileage is around 130k km.
I was thinking about:
Mobil 1 0W40
Valvoline Synpower 5W40
Castrol SLX ?
best regards
Peter
ps.sorry for my english.
