[W126 Coupe] Oil

[Jonathan]

Rotella USED to be a great oil until the new diesels w/ their new 
requirements came out, ie Bluetec w/ 'cats' etc..  They had to pull all 
the additives that we want/need out so write the diesel oils off as well.

For an off the shelf readily available dino Valvoline 20/50 Racing is a 
good oil.

The M1 Extended life is nice, as is Brad Penn's oil, but they are hard 
to come by.  Amsoil, Redline, Lubromoly are also nice synthetics.
