I just checked with Daimler and there's no such thing as a 229.4 engine oil spec.


Amsoil AFL 5W-40 claims to meet:
Daimler Chrysler 229.3, 229.4, 229.5

There's a 229.3 and 229.5, but there's no such thing as 229.4

youre right. There is no 229.4 spec

Myst be a typo? they meant 229.1, 229.3 and 229.5?

Good catch! Email the about this and how you could have possibily saved their butt and they should give you a life time supply of oil!

Hello Guys,

I just checked the Amsoil website and looked up 'Product Information' for the 5W-40 European
oil, they have removed the 229.4 spec reference.
They reference the 229.3 & 229.5 specs but not the 229.4 .
Thought you would want to know.
 
Yes I contacted Amsoil and they've removed it from their site.
No free oil tho

The real issue is why 229.4 was ever put on there in the first place.

It was confirmed by a non-Amsoil Site Supporter/Amsoil dealer that 229.4 is a non-existent spec after talking with Daimler Chrysler. It's not even a page # unless you consider 229.1, 229.3, and 229.5 as page #s rather than specs.
