He has lots of info on all the different kinds of oil and what he recommends. Here is the link it is a very long read and when he gets time he updates the info. His oil of choice is Quaker State and Quaker State® Euro Full Synthetic motor oil is Mercedes-Benz approved:229.3 229.5.

Just so you know, and 540 Rat obviously didn't explain, Quaker State and Pennzoil are both the same company (Pennzoil-Quaker State), and are owned by Shell. All of their top oils are essentially the same and made from natural gas. I just happen to have chosen Pennzoil. They all are approved for MB 226.5, 229.3, and 229.5.
