OK, I have looked into this the best that I can. This is what I have discovered, and this is what I am going to do;

Indeed it is a problem of accelerated wear on oils with low levels of ZDDP. Oil companies were mandated to lower ZDDP levels in most oils to lengthen the life of catalytic converters.

Mobil has confirmed this to be an issue for certain performance engines and some Mobil1 products still have higher levels of ZDDP.

For my mb, I will switch to Mobil1 15w50. It might create some seal issues, but minor seapage is better than major wear.

Good luck to all.
