Question M-B approved engine oils and filters?

Is there an online listing for MB-approved engine oils and oil filters for the W205 turbo engine? MB website only lists their own 229.X specs for oils. I want to ensure that the lube shop uses MB-approved stuff to ensure no warranty issues later.

UPDATE: After doing some goolgling, found a link to this link: Mercedes List of Approved Engine Oils

Still looking for the filter.

This oil meets spec and is likely to be the oil that your dealership uses since you are in the US. You can get is from Wally World, Autozone or Bimart too.

I don't trust the "quicky lube" shops. I've had them lose: oil filler caps, radiator caps, leave shop rags in the engine compartment, leave tools in the engine compartment, and fail to fill fluids to the correct levels.

Nowadays, I either change the oil myself with an extractor pump or I take the car to the dealer, or I take the car to my Indy Mechanic that specializes in German makes.
