Below are the AMSOIL oil and filter recommendations for your 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300CD with the 3.0L 5-Cylinder.
1982 MERCEDES-BENZ 300CD 3.0L 5-CYLINDER ENGINE CODE 3005cc 1
Your 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300CD carries the 3.0L five-cylinder diesel, one of the most respected engines Mercedes ever built. The odd cylinder count gives it a distinctive idle and a reputation for toughness that still defines the brand's diesel heritage today.
These old diesels are indirect-injection designs that run with high compression and, in turbo form, put real heat into the oil. They were also built in an era before modern oil chemistry, so the lubricant you choose today matters more than the one specified when the car was new.
AMSOIL's synthetic diesel oils deliver the soot control and high-temperature stability these engines need to keep the prechambers clean and the bearings happy. For a 1982 300CD, good oil is the cheapest insurance you can buy, and it is the reason so many of these cars are still on the road.
The 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300CD 3.0L 5-Cylinder requires 5W-40 full synthetic motor oil. Capacity is 7.9 quarts including filter.
