thanks for the link, it seems im ok with shell ultra then, in the old days it was castrol gtx for any car, well nearly. lol
Please forgive my ignorance. I presume the x on the spec sheet means it's compatible. I want to use Shell Helix Ultra instead of MB 229.5
Am I right in thinking this will be OK
Shell Helix ultra is approved by MB and being a GTL oil derived from gas (Gas To Liquid technology) it's one of the very best oils available.
I have a B200 cdi with an OM651 engine. Been running on genuine merc 5W30 229.51 oil. Have recently been given some Mobil 1 esp lv 0W30. Enough for an oil change, but is it OK in my engine? I have used mobile 1 esp 5W30 in the past ok. With winter coming up it may be fine viscosity wise, but is the rating OK? It is 229.61 oil, not 229.52.

It's a further extention of 229.52 to ace the fuel economy .
Want more protection , choose a different manufacturer spec .
