About the 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SLC

Your 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SLC is powered by the 3.8L naturally aspirated V8, the engine that has defined the brand's top-tier models for decades. From the classic fuel-injected V8s of the 1980s to the high-revving AMG engines of the modern era, a Mercedes V8 is a study in smooth, effortless power.

A large V8 carries a lot of oil, which is good, but it also generates a lot of heat, which is hard on that oil. The engine's bearings and valvetrain work under serious load, and the oil has to hold its film strength through it all, whether the car is cruising or being driven hard.

AMSOIL full synthetic motor oil delivers the thermal stability and wear protection a V8 needs. For the 1981 380SLC, consistent synthetic changes keep the engine strong, clean, and sounding exactly the way a Mercedes V8 should.
