Let's get talking again guys! I've moved on to a w205 63 and just did its first oil change. This car has the filter under the car and I didn't feel like doing it on stands and took it to the dealership. They wanted 230 and after a chat got it done for 200 all in with tax.
I had 2 choices
229.5 5w50 and 229.5 high performance 0w40
I went with regular 5w40. anyone know the difference and know what oil mb is using today in the regular 5w40?

Not sure but have you got the figures correct: 5w50, 0w40, 5w40 in 229.5?

It depends on the market. For the American market it is made by Shell (by any number of their refineries in the USA). For the European and Asian markets it is made by Total.
The AMG High Performance 0W-40 is the euro-spec Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 in an AMG branded bottle.

The pennzoil 5w40 īs the only authorized oil I use for my wife's Fiat Abarth.
I noticed that it had the C63 credentials on the bottle.
I immediately thought that this means that the LiquiMoly 5w40 must have the Fiat Abarth credentials and therefore I can unify the oil supply to my fleet.
Nope!
The LiquiMoly doesn't specify the Fiat standard.

Is it a special blend and did anyone do a latest analysis on it.its pretty cheap on Amazon and the car runs smoother like it feels like a really heavy honey oil is in it.

I think I will wait until my oil cooler upgrade arrives and I have to drain the whole system anyway and change over from Mobil 1 to the Pennzoil.

Pennzoil is a Shell brand. Most of Shell's passenger car oils in the USA are now sold under the Pennzoil or Quaker State brands. All are made at a number of Shell's refineries in the USA.

I have never seen a VOA of the AMG High Performance 0W-40 oil, but have heard directly both from an industry professional and a senior Mercedes technical rep that it is re-branded euro-spec (100% lab synthesized base stocks, not hydro cracked petroleum or natural gas derived base stocks that can also be marketed as "synthetic" in America) Mobil 1 0W-40.
To me "really heavy honey oil" would suggest the opposite as a heavier oil has more friction and flows less readily than a lighter one.
