Delo XLE 15w-40 / MB 228.51

[Brian553]

I've been looking around a little and I can't seem to find other HDEO in 15w40 that meets the 228.51 spec. What other options do you guys know of that aren't too boutique?

https://bevo.mercedes-benz.com/bevolisten/228.51_en.html There are no other 15W-40 approved oils. Shell Rotella T6 Multi Vehicle 5W-30, free pickup at my local Walmart. The grade is irrelevant with the MB approval requirement.

Check your local AZ stores, I scored 5 gallons on XLE 15W40 for $5 each! Hard to beat Delo HDEO.

Yes. If approved, it is hard to be Delo. Same with T6 Multi-Vehicle.

Delo XLE 15W-40 is less than $12/gallon on amazon right now

DELO XLE is arguably the best value in HDEO.
