These are the only ones that don't have *'s next to them. And I'm assuming the XFire engine is an AMG engine??
But what does "for MY07+ diesel" mean? That it only works in new diesel engines? If that's the case, then there is only one type of oil that will work in our cars! The Mobil 1 0W40!!
There is a VERY good chance I'm not reading this correctly. I would love to buy Valvoline instead, so please clarify!!
Thanks!!
