Mobil 1 5W-40 ESP-M Quart 6-pack $29.97 after rebate from Amazon.com
Found this in the comments for this product on Amazon.com:
This is directly from AMG.
This occurs as the automotive fluid standards have changed in the meantime (in May 2008).
In general, the following fluids should be used for AMG engines :
- Mobil 1 5W-40 for M156 engine (63er models)
- Mobil 1 0W-40 all other AMG engines (as well the AMG diesel engines that was used for the C 30 AMG)
- Mobil 1 5W-50 SLR engine
Before that change, the Mobil 1 0W-40 was used for the 63 models as well.

Inquires in the AMG Private Lounge were responded to by MB moderators, and the current recommendation is the 229.51. My Tucson dealer uses the regular 5W-40 M per 229.5.

These go for $12 a quart at the local auto stores.
My local Mobil 1 distributor who sells to all the local stores around here cant even get there hands on it.
