Which oil for OM651

[Eurotourist]

I have a OM651 in a mercedes Vito and I don't know what oil to use. It says I can use a mb228.51, mb229.51 or mb229.52
I thought about:

Amsoil Signature Series Max-Duty DHD 5W-30, which is a 228.51

Amsoil European Car Formula AFL 5W-40, which is a 229.51

Motorex focus QTM 10W-40, which is a 228.51

What would you guys recommend?

Shell rimula R6LM 10w40

Ravenol NDT 5W40

Any oil that is approved for MB229.51 and MB229.52 is good oil.
Now, let's talk splitting hairs, my choice, and in this order:
Castrol Edge 0W30 C3 (has up to 75% PAO base stock)
Mobil1 ESP 5W30.

Can't find any details on this one. HTHS? VI?

Ravenol NDT 5W40

This one is a mb228.31 so it doesn't "fit" the prescriptions, would be interesting if somebody tried a 228.31 instead of a 228.51 on a long run 300k miles + since they are quit different

I personally would not overvalue the approval if the vehicle is no longer guaranteed. The NDT works very well (ok, AR 9100 was also added). There are good UOAs from NDT.
