If it meets the MB spec, and it will say so on the bottle, the answer is yes. If not, then buy your girl friend a new dress and forget about the cheap oil!!

Mobil1 0w-40 5qt jugs sells for about $25 at Walmart. Cheap, exactly what MB uses, and good for at least 10k miles with OEM filter. I have not heard of the brand at all, so I wouldn't risk it just to save couple bucks.
