Mobil 1 turbodiesel 0W40
I see this oil listed as an approved oil. Has anyone ever seen it? I have not. I generally use Mobil 1 turbodiesel/truck 5W40 or the European formula 0W40 in my E300D.

BTW, speaking of oil, NAPA has Mobil 1 on sale for $5.89 per quart through the end of this month.

That's what I wonder too. I see it listed here in the 229.5 grouping:
MB 229.5 - Multigrade engine oils (Specification 229.5) - Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Operating Fluids

M1 European Blend 0W/40 was the factory fill. Mobil's a pain, they continually change their names for marketing purposes.
The MB spec on the label and viscosity is the most important factor. Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Operating Fluids: Overview Sheets

My father has used that oil in his 1.8T Passat since 40,000 miles (it's at 230k now). I use M1 5w40 in my 99.5 TDI and SDL.

I used 0W40 in the 1996 E300D a couple of years ago but went back to 5W40 for no really good reasons and now (since Mobil switched to a group 3 base and raised their prices) don't buy Mobil any more. 0W40 is approved by Mercedes, especially for newer diesels, but 5W40 is fine for our old clunkers.

When I ran the 0w40 in my 99.5 TDI the engine always sounded like it was cold. I'm probably being overly picky, but that was the first and last time I used that oil in that car. I know the analysis numbers from other people's cars always looked nice... but the 5w40 costs about the same so I've just stuck with it

I came across this stuff at the parts store today:
  Is this what we were talking about originally?

No. The 0-40 oil is labeled as European Car Formula.
