MB branded 0W-40 229.52 oil available at dealership

While the service department at my local dealership was trying to troubleshoot an intermittent check engine warning light today, I decided to ask if the parts department had the 229.51/229.52 0W-40 oil for my E53 Hybrid. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that forty 1-liter bottles of 229.52 spec oil were in stock. I was even more surprised that the retail cost per liter was $10.86, which is about the same price I paid per quart for Mobil 1 ESP X4 0W-40.

The parts department confirmed that the service department does not have the 0W-40 229.52 oil in the bulk pump system.

The part number for the oil is 000-989-73-10-11-FBCU90.

Do you mean $10.86 per liter or per quart? Either way, considering the oil is coming from a Mercedes dealer, without the usual Mercedes dealer markup, that is an excellent price!

$10.86 per liter. The 229.51/229.52 Mobil 1 ESP X4 0W-40 is usually about $10/quart PLUS shipping. I have not seen it available at auto stores for customer pickup. I was expecting the per liter price of the MB branded oil at the dealership to be closer to $20.
