you could, of course, always order direct from the mfr instead of asking
your FLAPS to do it,...
i don't remember what happened when we tried Royal Purple, it's
been so long ago, and since things change i went to look at them again.
they also have a 15W40 that's not specifically marketed as a diesel
oil but that they say is 'C' rated for diesel and claim it meets some
mfrs specs:
"15W40 meets Cummins CES 20081, DDC Powerguard 93K218, Mack E0-0 Premium
Plus, Renault VI RLD-3 and Volvo VDS-4 engine oil requirements."
no claim of it meeting any MBZ specs, FWIW.
cheers!

The problem I have with Redline is the same as with Amsoil, no good local
availability. Royal Purple is supposed to be just as good quality and my local
Car Quest has it. Of course they only carry 10w30 but they'll generally special
order anything I want...

pity about the M1 not showing diesel ratings; i see their website still
shows it as being 'C' rated, but we know how often websites are
out-of-date,...
i don't see it mentioned here very often, but if you don't mind
paying for good oil, what about Redline? i've had good luck with Redline
products in general (including in a turbocharged rotary race car that
used to rapidly coke every other oil we tried), and they have a 15W40
specifically for Diesel they claim is MB 228.3 rated.
