True. I think they stopped using the M1 at the dealers because of the sponsorship from Petronas in F1 Racing.
But, I think M1 bottles the MB brand oil. Or at least they get their bottles from the same vendor. Compare the MB bottle to the Mobil Super bottle:
Only difference is the plastic color. Label sticker is even the same shape.
I wish M1 made a 5W-40 for sale over the counter..
