Nope. if you look carefully (which you obviously did not) Pennzoil Platinum 5W40 has MB 229.5 Approval. Oil that is not given approval by Mercedes-Benz does not have MB 229.5 Approval. MB 229.5 Approval is correct way to display approval from Mercedes Benz. MB dd this in such a way precisely bcs. of oils like SuperTech. If you look back side of SuperTech it does not say MB 229.5 Approval, it just say MB229.5. That is how one knows which oils went through approval process and which did not.
As for ACEA, ACEA does not have approval process, but in-house self-regulatory process where oil company tests and says: yes, it meets ACEA requirement.
