Hey everyone,

As you might have seen I've just purchased a 300D 2.5 Turbo..The previous owner was kind enough to give me an oil change and filter!

I've never used or really seen this brand of oil...

Pilot Premium Heavy Duty 15w40

I've heard of Pilot but I didnt know they had their own branded oils..

I think I read in another thread that its actually just Rotella T6... but Idk




I was hoping some of you could clear this up and tell me what you think. I've just switched most of the cars over to T6 actually...

possibly a T5, as it's not synthetic, and T6 is.
more likely it's a bulk oil with the station's label on it.
should be fine as any of the dino oils.

Wouldn't you know it's featured in an oil thread just started today - Engine oil recommendations for our old cars . Looks like it's satisfactory.
