Thanks for ur response
ive been looking at hypermarket but couldnt find this brand. For next service i think i just buy at rrp only. Need to find more info as ur advice.
Based on ur experience, do different market product (ie thai market, MY market) has different additive? the product is compatible with our local car?
since u are using Sh Ultra 5-40ive been looking at hypermarket but couldnt find this brand. For next service i think i just buy at rrp only. Need to find more info as ur advice.

To me I don't think the EO additive will be different between markets as they have to conform to the EO spec rating.
the most important factor is the EO spec rating to your engine requirements, where the brands itself is listed in the respective sites,
SH Ultra 5-40 has a rating of:
MB229.5 - 226.5
Bmw ll-01
Vw 502.00 - 505.00
porsche a40
An example, some seller (EXN) will sell EO that have the MB 229.5 ratings
like this seller
EXN Fully Synthetic Lubricant SAE 5W40 API SN/CF Engine Oil 4LEXN Fully Synthetic Lubricant SAE 5W40 API SN/CF Engine Oil 4L
They have even faked their MB 229.5 rating cert on their webpage

But on Mercedes benz official site, EXN 5-40 is not approved
As long as the EO is of reputable source, it should be the same.
if your car is just local made car P1 p2, I am not too sure if one should pay for such high rating EO into it.
info on ratings
MB 229.5 approved "MB Longlife Service Oils" - extended drain intervals beyond 229.3 oils, to 30,000 km
MB 229.51 approved "low ash long life" - for cars with EURO 4 diesel engines or Bluetec exhaust particle filters, and longer service life than the 229.31 oils
