Hey guy,   I'm using the Elf Solaris LSX 5W-30 (from France) which meets both the MB and ACEA specs listed/required for the engine. I use the Mann Filter HU821x filter (made in Gemany), which is a MB-approved part replacement for the MB filter you'll see at both MB and Jeep stealerships, but at like 1/3rd the cost!! The dealerships are freakin' incredible for what they ask for these parts...oh well.   The manual says to change it every 12,500 miles normal use; I'm just coming up on 25000 and time for a change. It will actually be my 3rd (not 2nd) because I decided to do it that way (at 7k, 15k, and now at 25k miles...). Will be per the book from now on. In this last 10k miles I've added about 1/4 of a bottle is all, it's been great oil (the Elf Solaris).   I don't know what is 'best'; if you look at the filter it's really, really basic - so no issues there. Elf makes some outstanding oil for many, many purposes to include modern turbo and diesel spec'd engines for sometime. I'm sticking with that. You have to remember these are highly spec'd synthetic oils to meet turbo, diesel (for the new low-sulphur fuel; and the new clean diesel exhaust clean-up systems) and the high mileage requirements. Older, non-spec'd oils just won't get it - unless maybe you change them far more often but I would be very careful.   That's all I know; uh, I do take my rig to a private garage for changes, etc - not to the dealership, but keep my receipts for warranty purposes... Have a good one, later. Replies to this message: pole2 (Jun 18, 2008 6:39 pm) neloli (Jul 07, 2008 4:24 pm) pole2 (Jul 09, 2008 5:12 am)

Replying to: bartramp (Jul 08, 2008 7:25 am) Oil filter is on the top of the engine.When you open the hood you see cup on right hand side.You can not see filter just the cup. Filter is inside. It does not look like regular filter. Replies to this message: bartramp (Jul 09, 2008 6:22 am) pole2 (Jul 09, 2008 6:10 pm)

Replying to: pole2 (Jul 09, 2008 4:11 am) thanks for the location of the filter. i take it that the cup unscrews and there is a element inside that is replaced.nice to have it on top. does it leak much when the cup is removed? Replies to this message: pole2 (Jul 09, 2008 6:10 pm)
