[W126 Coupe] OIL VISCOSITY

[Vance Rowley]

Mike,
  
  Engine lubricants have advanced and improved in performance a great deal since the owners manuals for these cars were written up.One of the best lubricants I have come accross and used for years in my Euro 560SEC is the Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 fully synthetic lubricant. This particular one exceeds the requirements of most cars these days. Also this particular one is approved by Mercedes Benz themselves as well as Peugeot-Citroen, Rover Group, VW/Audi, BMW, Porsche and Ferrari.

  NO MAN  if i were you i definitely would stick to what the owners manual suggested  
   20w 50 oil is way too thick to pump in cooler /cold temps  this is when wear starts and  it is of no use just because its thicker 
  i have had  this very discussion with a very knowledgeable fella form gm who said just what i am telling you  he also stated there are literally whole library filled with info regarding oil/and lubrication at G.M.
