But it says U.S. on it, so we can't even use it here.
Yes, I know, all our Castrol ILSAC 5w-30 options say U.S., too.

I sure hope it's good as I just poured a 5 qt. jug into my '07 V70 base.
I did an early "oil sump drain & fill" (I left the filter) because I needed 5 qts. of "OK oil" for a car which has been sitting.

Was hoping to use Castrol Edge 0w40 A3/B4 for my 2016 Merdedes e250 diesel, but it is not approved by MB for 229.51. And there is nothing in the Castrol Edge lineup in a 0w40 or 5w40 that is MB 229.51 approved and available in Canada. So that being the case, thinking to go with Mobile 1 ESP 0w40. Yes, I know I could go with a Fuchs or ELF/Total but prefer to stay with NA Brands readily available in Canada.
Thoughts on Mobil 1 ESP 0w40 for this vehicle?

Thanks!
M1 ESP 0W-40 does not have 229.51 approval. Only 0W-30 and 5W-30 have 229.51 approval.
Honestly there's little to no difference between 30 and 40 weight oils with 229.51 approval. I wouldn't bother choosing one over the other. They will all be 3.5-3.7 HTHS.

FWIW here is the list. Be careful though that whatever you buy has the approval on the label and it is worded as described on that site.

As has been mentioned, ignore grade.

Yeah, probably BMW dropped it for LL04.

Yeah I saw that at Walmart on Saturday. The Mobil 1 0W-40 was still a bit cheaper, I almost picked that up but went with the usual Castrol instead.
My old BMW doesn't really need LL-01 anyway, just about any A3/B4 would be suitable. Maybe even Amazon oil for $25 delivered

I ran across a few 5 qt. Jugs of that on clearance for around $12 each last spring. A few weeks later it was marked down to $7 and I cleaned it out. Some German made some Belgian.
