I found the M-B spec 229.51 and found the following oils suitable for our rig:
Amsoil European Car Formula 5W-40 5-L $52.25 (no dealer close to me)
Mobil 1 ESP Formula M 5W-40 6-Q $52.22 Amazon Free ship $8.70/Qt
Pentosynth HC 5W-40
Valvoline SynPower 5W-40 229.51 6-Q $45.85 Amazon Free ship $7.64/Qt
Ardeca 5W-40 3x5 Liter 15-L $108.00 Amazon $19.49 ship $8.50/Lt
(made in Belgium for M-B)
Canvassing the stores in my area the only one I found was the Mobil 1 ESP, 1-Q bottles only, at $12.79 ea plus tax.
