Do the MB specs 229.3 and 229.31 also apply to my vehicle or only MB 228.3 and 228.31?
Thanks.

The .31 and .51 are low SAPS, so they are low Zn, P, etc. No big issue. The CJ-4 and ULSD formulated oils are proving to be superior in performance regardless.
Using a 229.31 oil would be perfect. However, frankly, Id just go with the HDEO of your choice and be done with it. I prefer a diesel-specific add pack, and that is something that API CF and in reality 229.xx wont give you.
