Review: Meets MB requirements - Who knows if the oil is good or bad? I assume it does what it is supposed to do. Described to meet applicable standards so I believe it is acceptable for my MB. The only way to know if it is better or not so good would be to have several vehicles testing the oil for hundreds of thousands of miles.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Meets MB requirements
*by R***Y on January 7, 2026*

Who knows if the oil is good or bad? I assume it does what it is supposed to do. Described to meet applicable standards so I believe it is acceptable for my MB. The only way to know if it is better or not so good would be to have several vehicles testing the oil for hundreds of thousands of miles.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I've Struck Oil Again

This European oil for vehicles, such as BMW, Mercedes, and Audi, is a very high-quality product, which has kept my engine running extremely well. After having trouble finding my usual European oil, Valvoline is more widely sold online and in stores.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ V.W T.D.I approved 50400/50700
*by T***8 on August 16, 2025*

It's V.W T.D.I approved 50400/50700 low ash oil. It's affordable, especially if you get the three pack. My last 4 oil changes have been with this oil. So far it seems as good as any other I have used. If I was taking it to the dealer for oil changes I could have easily spent 500 bucks even with sales and coupons. Plus I don't have to wait for my car to be returned to me or come back the next day to pick it up. If your handy at all D.I.Y. Look on YouTube for a good walk through and help resetting the oil change interval and service lights. No V.C.D.S, V.A.G-Com required.
