The esp is a special formula for emissions reasons, it says it real big on the front, you would know if you had it.

Re: [MBZ] Mercedes Approved 229.51 Oil?
It's a Forest River Solera 24R, with 2 slides, walk-around queen bed for us and cabover sleeper for the grandkids. We're flying in to Denver to inspect and purchase. Our current rig is a 29' 5th. wheel pulled by a crew cab Powerchoke F-250. It's tough (or impossible) to get into sites in the National Parks and US Forest Service campgrounds that we favor. The Solera will pretty much get into any site, and is a vastly superior rig for longer destinations with overnight stops. The PO is a retired engineer who has done most of the mods SWMBO and I would want: HD rear Bilsteins, HD rear sway bar, and hydraulic stabilizers (for me); Satellite radio (for SWMBO). He even emailed me his oil analysis results :-)! I plan to add 200W of solar panels right off the bat. Solar has gotten much cheaper and much more efficient for RV applications. This will be our 3rd. and most likely our last RV.

Remember, just because it's on a MB list doesn't mean it's ok for every MB. That's a modern diesel rated oil. For modern Mercedes.
