Recommended oil type (Oil Viscosity Classification SAE) is 5W-40

Timing chain

There is no manufacturer specified replacement interval for the engine timing chain on Mercedes E class 1993 3.0 diesel, expecting it to last until the engine is overhauled (approximately 450,000 km - 750,000 km).
Based on real life experience, the Mercedes E 300 1993 D Combi Automatic timing chain change interval is approximately 180,000 km as at this mileage it may become overstretched and require replacement, so it is recommended to check the condition of the chain periodically after this mileage is reached and replace the timing chain if it becomes excessively stretched or if unusual engine noises occur.
