Below are the AMSOIL oil and filter recommendations for your 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300D with the 3.0L 5-Cylinder.
1985 MERCEDES-BENZ 300D 3.0L 5-CYLINDER ENGINE CODE 2998cc 1
Your 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300D 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 1985 300D, 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 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300D 3.0L 5-Cylinder requires 5W-40 full synthetic motor oil. Capacity is 8.3 quarts including filter.
