Hi,
I once read here on the forum that a good oil will always be specified by Mercedes Benz, for instance MB229.3. In this Link you can find all the oils approved by Mercedes Benz:

To me it basically means that I dont have to go for the premium brands every time - I can just choose an inexpensive oil as long as its on the list.
But what if I am looking at an oil in the store which isn't on the list, but the label says it DOES fulfill MB229.1 or any other of the MB.xxx.x qualities? Can I trust the label? What is your opinion?
