According to Mercedes, these are good (MB229.3 and higher):

and these are very good (MB229.5):

Opieoils give a discount to our members.

The corresponding Renault specs are RN0700. Three known examples are Shell, Elf and Motul, see

The dealers use nasty stuff...

Get the OEM filter (use Purflux web site for reference). Search the web to understand how bad the aftermarket filters can be.
