Hi,
QT - I agree with your comments
TiredTrucker's comments place no credence to the fact that MB have had lubricant specifications dating back for 60 years that I know of. As well they were a founder member of ACEA which of course contain references to MB tests in many areas.
MB (D) are currently also re-evaluating some of the ACEA tests in light of gelling etc in used lubricants under certain cold conditions - no doubt just one of many investigations that are on-going!
ACEA has been much more pro-active since its formation than API had been for several decades beforehand!
