Which of these synthetics cleans best.pics

Our 2021 Merc GLC300 specifies M1 ESP. Something to do with the cat filter on these and similar late models. Not sure what it does but "approved" oils/weights are very specific for this vehicle. Been buying it at Autozone (5 qts container) in a discounted package deal including an STP premium filter. Have seen the quart containers for over $15 each when this oil first arrived on the market. Unfortunately, I have to buy two, as Merc needs 6 quarts, so store the remaining 4 qts for next year.
Mobil 1 ESP might meet the spec, but your Mercedes has a Mercedes specification, 229.51. You have a wide variety of choices beyond that one oil.

This is your cars owners manual. Mercedes is quite clear. They even give you this web site: https://operatingfluids.mercedes-benz.com/sheet/229.51

If I had a dirty engine I would dump in a pint of marvel mystery oil and drive it a few days then drain and put good oil back in
