 New recommended oil?
I just had the "A" service done at the Mercedes dealer in Hickory, N.C. Studying the parts list from the bill I noticed they had used an oil called
Mobil 1 ESP instead of Mobil 1 0-40 as in all previous oil changes. I called the Mobil toll free phone number and they told me that the ESP designation meant that the oil came from a 55 gallon drum but that it could be any weight. When I talked to the service people at the dealer yesterday they said that they were now using 5-40 oil as dictated by Mercedes. Has anyone heard of this new condition? It seems to me that the zero would have benefits at cold engine start-up that the 5 weight would not have. Any thoughts? |
