Re: What's the word on sythetic oil?

199.196.144.12

I have a Mercedes C230K that came with synthetic oil. I believe Mercedes uses it exclusively and the change interval is 12,000 miles.

The car has a supercharger, so there might be issues regarding high amounts of heat.

The manufacturer has not axe to grind as far as type of oil other than what will make the car last the longest. It is often the higher end cars using tighter tolerances that standardize on the synthetics.
