Can I use Castrol Magnatec 10w-40 A3/B3 in my Mercedes-Benz E-Class?
I own a W-reg Mercedes-Benz 320 E-Class diesel. I have some oil, Castrol Magnatec 10w-40 A3/B3 MB 229.1, but it does not say diesel on the can. Can I use this oil?

You can use it, but be aware it does not have the detergents of a diesel-specific oil so don't leave it in too long.
