Yeah, I don't get it. This is news?
0-40 is approved against MB 229.5 and the ESP 5-40 is Mercedes MB 229.51.
Either 0-40 or 5-40 is what people have been using all along.
What's the story?

Say what? What's so new about 0-40? My dealer and Indy have been using that for a while.
Then AMG and MBUSA said 5-40 M ESP due to lower phosphorus to protect cats (they wrote the memo themselves and it's on the AMG PL forums.) But some people figure because the phosphorus is M1's equivalent of zinc protection, to stay with 0-40 (more phosphorus) and screw the cats.
So what the news here?
edit: me confused..... what are you trying to say?

Thanks, that's what I thought. But the OP is making it sound like there's some new 0W-40 out now that's specific only to AMGs. That's what confused me I guess.

mobile one is a great oil one of the best. But the only reason amg tell you to use it in are cars is coz mb have some sort of deal with them. if tomorrow mb made a deal with castrol then the amg cars will say use castrol.

If Daimler posts approved oils, it's usually best to stick with them while under warranty.
