Needing to supply my local Mercedes Benz dealer, he has insisted that I supply MB 228.5 spec oil. Fair enough, but I see that this stipulation only carries an API spec of CF, whereas the "lower" MB228.3 is a CI-4?!
My question is, what is the benefit of group 11 base oils if the API specification is lower?
