Recieved an email today from Valvoline and this is the oil that they recommended for the Auto Diesel..Valvoline Synpower MST,SAE 5W/30 part no: 1186.20 . Below is some more info....Scott
Valvoline SynPower MST SAE 5W-30 035/03
Valvoline SynPower MST SAE 5W-30 is a premium fully synthetic motor oil for MercedesBenz and other Euro
IV diesel engines equipped with DPF technology (Diesel Particle Filter), and/or TWC (Three Way Catalyst). The
product is suitable for CDI engines with EGR and DPF system, and long drain intervals up to 30.000 Km.
SynPower MST SAE 5W-30 can be used in modern MercedesBenz and BMW gasoline and diesel engines and
gives excellent protection even under extreme circumstances. Low SAP motor oil (low on ash, phosphorus, and
sulphur). Euro IV engines and engine oils are focused on reducing all emissions and fuel consumption.
The Valvoline SynPower MST motor oil advantages
* Extended drain performance: Suitable for long drain intervals according to MB and BMW specifications.
* Environment: Suitable for EURO IV engines with Diesel Particle Filters and TWC.
* Fuel efficiency : Enhanced fuel efficiency vs reference oil.
* Cold start properties: Product has a very low pourpoint, which results in an easy cold start.
* Wear protection: Excellent wear protection enhances engine?s and DPF life time.
