Amazon 0w-40
Newbie (to the forum) here. I searched but didn't find anything specific to my question so I thought I asked.
So Amazon had a clearance for a 5 quart jug of 0w-40 Euro formula for $5.50 each. I said hey this is a steal so I bought 4 jugs for $22. I looked at the label after and nothing said about 229.5 however it said meets ACEA A3/B4 specs. I went ahead and changed out my daughter's 2019 CLA with it this past weekend.
So this is my question. Does anyone know if this is safe to use even though no 229.5 approval on the bottle, has anyone actually used this same oil for extended 10k drains? I know some will say hey man why you use this when you can get M1 which is approved for $25 a jug. Hey, I am not tryna cheap out on the oil, it's just I saw that it was on clearance and bought it and now wanted to know if it is safe to use on this Benz so I wanted to ask those questions. That is all. Bob the oil guy forum was not that helpful as they all said everything I already knew and no one could give me the answers to those 2 questions I asked.
So if anyone has any input that would be helpful I would love to hear it. Not trying to sound like a punk here but just tryna get a few answers and not any criticism about why you do this man and why don't you do that man....
Thanks

Send a link to be sure. But if what you're referencing above is Mobil 1 0W-40 Euro - it meets 229.5. I searched Amazon up and down and couldn't find 5qt jugs for $5.50. Do you mean $5.50 per quart?
