[W126 Coupe] Oil change

[Jay Hirsch]

Synthetic is only good when  used  from when the car was new.
1987 560 never had synthetic  in it when new
Once a car  has used regular oil, synthetic is a waste of money and  
Mercedes will tell you this
Since I have a diesel I use 15W 40 Shell  Rotella in  all my cars
I buy  it at Walmart best price on motor oils and anti freeze.  The  
only things I buy at Walmart
But any 10w 40 is fine.
Synthetic is not a really a synthetic bur motor oil with an additive.
I change oil  and filter in my car every 2000 miles or every  four  
months.
