Does the 10W30 you bought have the MB spec 229.5 on the label? If not I would be hesitant to use it and I think you're wise to have gone to the certainly recommended 0W40. I think some other manufacturers (Castrol comes to mind) offer some different weights that have MB approval. On the other hand, one school of thought is practically any oil is OK to use as long as it's changed at the "proper" intervals and the filter is changed.
