How long will a Mercedes diesel engine last?

Answer

Depends on maintenance. With the use of cheap, non-diesel rated oils and irregular oil changes 200,000 miles would be about all you could hope for. With proper maintenance, good oils like Shell Rotella T, or Amsoil synthetic, gentle driving, and a few add-ons like a good bypass filter and fuel water separator, 400,000 would be expected and 500,000 not unlikely.
