Purolator #L25277. I am in touch with Valvoline on the use of their 100% synthetic oil. They say its OK to use in M-B engines and complies with their requirements. I asked them to verify that statement, as they don't make a 0W-40 oil. I'll keep you posted if you like.

Hi, I heard from Valvoline today:
Thank you for contacting Valvoline’s Engine Guarantee program.
Unfortunately Valvoline does not make the oil that is recommended by your manufacturer. We always encourage consumers to use products that their manufacturers advise to use. Valvoline is currently working to increase the product line and we hope to offer your recommended weight of oil in the future.
Sincerely,
Alexsandra

Too bad, the 300K mile guarantee may have been a nice feature and didn't cost a thing...........
