Avoid additives.
Which is effectively all OBE because the OM 61x and 60x engines have fallen off of the MB Bevo site and oil spec sheets. Meanwhile API and ACEA specs have changed, so more or less any MB approval is irrelevant.

Best bet is a regular SAPS HDEO in an appropriate viscosity per the original documentation.
