Anyone know if Vauxhall fully super synthetic oil longlife 5W30 part no 93165212 conforms to MB229.3 ? is it safe to use in 203 kompressor engine?
Also anyone know the make of it?

I can't imagine why it wouldn't be just fine.
 
David. I have a shelf full of it myself!!

Someone I know is a Vauxhall employee and his uncle works at Shell - he told me that it's in fact Shell Helix. I have nothing in writing from either Shell or Vauxhall but it's good enough for me. ;)

Vauxhall use it for their turbocharged engines - including Astra and Vectra VXR so it must be fairly good stuff.
 
There are only about 3 companies making fully synth oil so whatever name is on the bottle it's going to be good stuff!
