MB 229 specs include one additional test that is useful for most Saab engines on account of including a chain wear limit. You should look for MB 229 in addition to the usual specs (viscosity range, ACEA and/or API ratings, brand reputation), not instead of them.
And as always, absence of a particular rating does not necessarily mean that particular oil would fail the rating, but more likely the seller didn't see enough added value to run the test and post the spec on the bottle. Amsoil comes to mind. Many knowledgeable people swear by it's quality, but they seem to lack the relevant official ratings. Running the tests that prove conformation can be very expensive. Still, I prefer to see the spec rather than trust the brand reputation.
