As DCX is moving the US bound Mercedes models away from 229.3 drain intervals to 229.5, the selection of 229.5 approved oils in the US is growing:
Mobil 1 0w40
Mobil SHC Formula MB 5w30
Pennzoil European Formula Ultra 5w30
Quaker State European Formula Ultra 5w30
Note: Neither the "Ultra" Pennzoil or Quaker State are listed on their respective web sites. All US bound AMG Mercedes models come with Mobil 1 0w40 in the engines. Other models with the FSS set to 229.5 come with Premium Synthetik Motorenöl 5w30, which is Mercedes-Benz's own branded oil.
