greetings.
i just purchased a vehicle with the MB 3.0L diesel. it has a particulate filter, but is the pre-bluetec version. the oil spec is 229.51.
i bought a cases of schaeffer's 9000 in 5w40 about 2 years ago, for use in my racecar. the racecar has seen a lot fewer miles than anticipated, so i have shelves full of the 1 gallon 9000 containers, still. the oil i bought doesn't have any mention of SM, or 229.51, like what's currently listed on their website. does anyone know whether or not the older 9000 still meets the specs, or if the new 9000 is reformulated? i'd really like to avoid having to buy yet more cases when i still have gallons left.
thanks.
