It says it meets MB approval for the 228.31 specification...

I'm not quite sure what the specs are for our engines?

Help please!
As stated earlier in this thread, the MB 228.31 grade oil was for diesel engines. More importantly, MB specified this grade of oil for commercial vehicles with diesel engines that had diesel particulate filters installed. The MB spec for passenger cars with diesel engines is a different designation.
