Engine oil - 2005 sprinter 2.7 engine

Hi

What engine oil should be used ?
-2005 Sprinter 316 CDi (2.7 engine)

Manual from what I can see states 10w-40 but Mercedes says that’s now discontinued?? Only 5W-30 available from Mercedes?

Any help it’s appreciated thanks

10W 40 is available from any motor factors
Probably cheaper than MB too

Various garages have added 5W 40, 5W 30 and 10W 40.
The last was from a commercial MB garage for what it's worth...
I do change it yearly regardless of mileage although the handbook says 2 yearly is fine.

Stick with 10W 40- and go synthetic if you can afford it- try one of the little known brands on E- BAY. I used to drive the local fire engine in London Fire Brigade - engine oil never changed .
