Hi All, new member here. So I got a few of the 5 quarts jug of the Amazon Basics 0w-40 Euro formula oil. Have a Mercedes with a 4 cyl Turbo that calls for 229.5. I have researched extensively but have not come to a conclusion whether this oil is OK for the car. I just did an oil change last week and so far no issues. I know the oil is distributed by Warren and the oil said it meets ACEA A3/B4 requirements but nowhere on the bottle does it say 229.5 approved other than the oil was made for European gas engines with Turbos. From what I gathered ACEA A3/B4 essentially meets 229.5 requirements. But before you ask why on earth would someone use something that does not have the approval when you can get M1 or Castrol for the same price or less, I got these jugs at $5.50 each. That's cheap at $1 a quart basically. I think Amazon was tryna get rid of them as they are no longer on the Amazon page, except for the 5w-40. Thanks for any inputs.
