Both are APPROVED, the recommendation was changed by MB in 2011 from 0W40 to 5W40. I don't see how you can say they are both "recommended", they are both approved.
The attached are somewhat old (3 yrs) but it's interesting to see how MB stated their 'recommendation of approved oils'. Looks like we may be both correct. I don't know if I am going to be able to live with myself!
