Buy the lowest cost oil that meets the manufactures specs.This car won't see alot of mileage. So far, in 3 months we're almost at 1K miles.

If you did, you will automatically be inducted into the hades of BITOG for oil hoarders!Uh oh, hopefully I didn't buy the last three in the world. FWIW the last time that happened it came back in a day or two. Like you say hopefully it will be back soon.
I wait till the ESP is on sale at Napa for $5 and change and buy 3-4 cases, everything here including OPE is on ESP 5w30 or M1 0w40 (all are Euro cars and one Subaru.
My experience with Penzoil Euro oils have been less than stellar, I ran the LX 0w30 in the VW 2.0T and it started drinking oil and had a poor UOA.
The engine never used any measurable oil between 5K OCI on Castrol or M1 0w40 with the LX the thing was going through a qt every 600 miles, went back to M1 0w40 and the oil consumption returned to normal. No explanation, it is baffling as to why this happened, that was over 3 years ago and still no measurable oil consumption today. Compression remains between 197 and 200 psi with around 5 psi leak down.
That is not to say it is common or will happen in another engine but it happened to this one and it is mine so I know it was real.
Personally I stay with Mobil 1 or if I didnt have any I would and have used Castrol 0w40.
I'm running this in my GLC300.I'm looking for a motor oil to start using in my 2021 Mercedes C300. I'm looking at M1 ESP and Penzoil Platinum euro formula. They both meet Mercedes requirements. I'd be getting 5w-30. M1 is about twice the price? Aren't they equivalent quality oils? Thanks
The Amsoil guys heads exploded ....Grade is irrelevant and so is brand for that matter.
This was the LX 0w30 and I can only guess it broke down quickly, the closer to 5K it got the more oil it used. The 5w30 may play totally different.What was once made from gas returns to gas....
Did you find the oil you were looking for? Pennzoil/Quakerstate seems like the cheapest avail options in 5W-30 grade meeting MB 229.51 specI'm looking for a motor oil to start using in my 2021 Mercedes C300.

FWIW Walmart.com shows it back in stock but a slightly longer delivery time. That's what happened the last time when it was out for only a couple of days. Still on rollback for $21.62.And its already out of stock... I hope its not gone forever there.
