Mercedes Benz divides passenger car oils into two main categories: oils for gasoline and diesel engines without particulate filters and oils for diesel engines with particulate filters. Each category of oil is divided into oils with different resource. All modern Mercedes engines have a system that monitors service intervals - Assyst Plus System.
Insert:service system Assyst Plus racesreads the terms of the upcoming maintenance and informs the owner in advance, displaying information on the dashboard. A flexible system allows you to adjust your service interval depending on the market for using the car. The system takes into account the condition of the oil, some other factors and calculates the timing of the next maintenance. At the next maintenance, data on the oil being filled is entered into the system. The properties of the oils themselves are adapted specifically for proper operation.AssystPlus.
Oils approved by Mercedes Benz receive nominal approvals, depending on the level of quality, and are listed as officially approved products at http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com. Tolerances are given after testing the oil under certain conditions. Also, tolerances are prescribed in the instructions for the car. For example: the instructions indicate that it is recommended to use oil MV 229.3 for standard replacement intervals (up to 20,000 km) and MV 229.5 for extended ones (max. 40,000 km). For cars operated in Europe and diesel engines with particulate filters, oils MV 229.31 and MV 229.51 are recommended. An additional unit in the oil tolerance indicates that the oil has been adapted according to the additive package for use in diesel engines with a particulate filter, Low SAPS oils. The adaptation consists in a reduced content of sulfur-phosphorus additives, the use of a modified detergent package and reduced alkalinity. Tolerance MB 229.5, on the contrary, is issued for oils with high alkalinity (TBN more than 10), reduced volatility and a complete package of additives. MV 229.3 and MV 229.5 oils are recommended for gasoline engines and diesel engines without a particulate filter in passenger cars operated both in Europe and in countries with unstable fuel quality.
It is quite natural that in Russia the most demanded tolerance is 229.5 for gasoline cars and 229.51 for diesel engines without particulate filters. Liqui Moly GmbH offers two engine oils of different viscosity for gasoline engines operated in Russia, Mercedes Benz. This and These oils are formulated with HC-synthetic base oils and high alkaline additive packages to provide long service life and excellent engine cleanliness.
For diesel engines with particulate filters, Liqui Moly experts recommend the use of oils or (with improved low-temperature characteristics). These oils ensure long-term correct operation of particulate filters and the BlueTEC urea aftertreatment system. Also, they are recommended for engines adapted for the use of liquefied and natural gas.
The factory documents provide for two types of engine oils - primary fill oils and service oils. Oils that are poured into the engine while still on the conveyor are assigned tolerance sheets 225.XX. The second type is used for service oil change in engines; for such oils, tolerance sheets 228.XX and 229.XX are provided.
First fill oils are very specific, it is not always worth filling in just such an oil, not all primary fill products fully comply with service approval sheets. For example: in M272, M273, M276 or M278 engines, primary fill oils with tolerances of 225.16 and 225.26 are used. These oils are low-ash and low in sulfur and phosphorus - LowSAPS, (they comply with tolerances 229.31 and 229.51, but they are strictly forbidden to be used when changing oil in service conditions). According to the nomenclature of oil producers for primary filling, Mercedes divided the production program for each supplier - as a general partner, and Petronas.
Engine oils from tolerance sheet 225.8
For gasoline engines of the M1XX family and diesel engines OM6XX with an oil change interval of no more than 15 thousand km (without Assyst) and 30 thousand km (with Assyst), MB Erstbetriebmotorenoel Saphir-N oil with a viscosity of 10w-40 from Fuchs with a tolerance of 225.8 was used .
Engine oils from approval sheet 225.10
(primary fill oils, filled at the factory).
In M266 and M275 engines and diesel engines OM640, OM646 (without a particulate filter), Shell Helix Ultra DC 225.10 5W-30 primary oil is initially poured on the conveyor. This is the most common primary fill oil. The fact is that tolerance sheet 223.1 is constantly being edited - out of production engines are removed from it and new ones are added.
Engine oils from approval sheet 225.11
(primary fill oils, filled at the factory)
Diesel engines OM 629, 640, 646, 660 (with particulate filter) use MB Formula 225.11 5W-30 primary oil, manufactured by ExxonMobil with approval 225.11 (Low SPAsh), but now replaced with approval sheet 225.17
Engine oils from approval sheet 225.16
(primary fill oils, filled at the factory)
The engines M271 (Repo and Evo), 272, 273 and 278 are filled with Fuchs Titan EM 225.16 (HTHS 3.5) 5W-30 primary engine oil with a tolerance of 225.16 (Low SPAsh).
Engine oils from approval sheet 225.17
(primary fill oils, filled at the factory)
Diesel engines OM642, OM651 with and without a particulate filter are filled with Syntium MB 35D 0W-30 primary engine oil from the manufacturer Petronas Lubricants International, Villastellone (Torino), Italy with a tolerance of 225.17 (corresponds to oils with tolerances of 229.31 and 229.51)
Engine oils from approval sheet 225.26
(primary fill oils, filled at the factory)
The M276 engines are filled with Fuchs Titan EM 225.16 (HTHS 2.9) 5W-30 primary fill oil with a tolerance of 225.26 (Low SPAsh). At the same time, all service documentation strictly warns: during further operation, it is absolutely impossible to use Low SPAsh (or LowSAPS) oils in M276 engines.
All-weather SHPD motor oils approved for Mercedes-Benz diesel engines. Extended oil change interval for turbocharged engines of trucks; basic requirements comply with the ACEA E2 standard.
Note: Compatibility with elastomer gaskets must be checked.
Engine oils from the approval sheet 228.3
All-weather multi-viscosity SHPD motor oils for diesel engines of heavy trucks and tractors with and without turbocharging. Depending on the operating conditions and service maintenance, the oil change interval can be up to 45,000 - 60,000 km. The basic requirements are in accordance with the ACEA E3 standard.
Engine oils from the approval sheet 228.31
Engine oils for commercial trucks with diesel engines equipped with particulate filters. The approval requires that the oil meet the API CJ-4 standard, plus such engine oil must additionally pass two tests developed by Mercedes Benz designers: MB OM611 and OM441LA.
Engine oils from the approval sheet 228.5
UHPD (Ultra High Performance Diesel) engine oil for heavily loaded diesel engines of commercial trucks that meet Euro 1 and Euro 2 environmental standards, with an extended oil change interval (up to 45,000 km); for the heavy class, up to 160,000 km is possible (according to the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer). Basic requirements comply with the ACEA B2/E4 standard, as well as ACEA E5.
Multigrade engine oil for heavily loaded diesel engines of commercial trucks meeting Euro 4 requirements with extended oil change intervals. Basic requirements comply with ACEA E6
Engine oils from approval sheet 229.1
Used for diesel and petrol engines. Not suitable for diesel engines with DPF particulate filters (code 474). The sheet appeared in 1997 along with the introduction of a new tolerance system. Conforms to the European standard ACEA A3-04 or B3-04.
On the Mercedes Benz website they write that oils from tolerance sheet 229.1 are not used in any of the currently produced engines. On motors manufactured before 2002 - please. The rest should be looked for in sheet 223.2.
They are used for both diesel and gasoline engines. Cannot be used in diesel engines with DPF particulate filters (with code 474). Complies with ACEA A3-04 and B4-04 (different from oils with a tolerance of 229.1 in better quality, low oxidizability, low phosphorus and chlorine content).
Applicable:
- for all gasoline engines, except M278;
- for gasoline AMG engines, except: M152, M156, M157, M159, M275 AMG, M113 AMG, M112 AMG;
- from diesel engines (cannot be used only for cars with a DPF diesel particulate filter);
There is one interesting and very specific engine - M155, it is installed on the Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren, for which the only tolerance is applicable - 229.3. Not all oils can be used from this sheet, but only Mobil oils and only with a viscosity of 5W-50. This is a perfectly legitimate agreement between the engine manufacturer AMG and ExxonMobil in terms of lubricants. The choice of an oil brand is more commerce than technology and technology, and viscosity is the requirements of engine designers.
Engine oils from approval sheet 229.31
They are used for diesel engines with code 474 (DPF particulate filter), it was for these engines that such oils were created. The sheet appeared in 2003. Complies with ACEA A3-04, B4-04 and C3-04 (C is Low SAPS oil class). In addition, such oils are also suitable for gasoline engines, but only M266, M271. According to document SI18.00-P-0011A, engines 271 Evo, 112, 113, 272, 273, 276, 278 and 275 cannot be filled with engine oils from tolerance sheet 229.31. Strict requirements for soot formation force oil manufacturers to reduce the amount of zinc, calcium, molybdenum and other elements on which most additives are based.
Different principles of additives - this is the main difference between oils 229.31 and 229.51 from 229.3 and 229.5. Using, for example, 229.51 in a 273 motor can cause real engine damage.
They are used for all gasoline and diesel engines of Mercedes Benz passenger cars, except for diesel engines with a particulate filter. Complies with ACEA A3-04 and B4-04.
Recently, in the description of the oil, it was indicated that tolerance 229.5 is not applicable for the M104, M119 and M166 engines. In fact, except for the M166 and the M155 compressor engine, oils with a tolerance of 229.5 are applicable to all Mercedes Benz gasoline and most diesel engines (this article is only about cars). There are many mutually exclusive documents - according to some, use in engines 104, 119, 120 is unacceptable, and according to others, it is allowed. For example: documents BF18.00-P-1000-01B and AP18.00-P-0101AA. We have no right to publish these documents - the intellectual property of Daimler AG (see WIS).
This confusion led to the opinion that oils from sheet 229.5 cannot be used in engines 104, 119 and 120 due to the use of paper oil filters in them, which are destroyed by the components of these oils. 229.5 oils are considered to be used only with fleece oil filters. This is a myth: these oils began to be used on Mercedes back in May 2002, and fleece filters (code A000 180 2609) for M112,113 and 137 engines appeared only in September 2003. And yet - in the oil systems of M111 engines (according to the documents they have a permit 229.5) use the same paper oil filters A104 180 01 09.
BUT! When used in engines with a paper filter, the mileage should not exceed 10 thousand km. The principle of oil with an extended oil change interval is to contain a large amount of alkali, which neutralizes oxidation products. In oils 229.1 and 229.3, the base number (TBN) is 6.6 ... 8.6, and for - already about 12. Fleece filters (from non-woven fabric) are made from two-layer polyester. The first layer is frame, and the second is filtering.
In motors with paper filters, oils from sheet 229.5 can be used, significantly reducing the service life.
Oils with a tolerance obviously differ in performance and are not equally useful for Mercedes Benz and AMG engines. For AMG M112, M113, M152, M156, M157 and M159 engines, only oils from the 0W-40 and 5W-40 series are allowed.
Used in diesel engines of Mercedes Benz cars with a particulate filter (code 474). The sheet appeared in 2005. Complies with ACEA A3-04, B4-04 and C3-04. Oils can also be used in gasoline engines, but only M266, M271, M271Evo. It is the same in AMG gasoline engines: M156 and M159.
According to document SI18.00-P-0011A, engines 112, 113, 272, 273, 275, 276 and 278 are prohibited from using engine oils from approval sheets.
Approval 2013, for oils capable of providing maximum fuel economy (Extreme Fuel Economy) and produced using the “Low Saps” technology. This tolerance reduces the accumulation of soot particles in the particulate filter, which prevents regeneration and the associated loss of power; reduction of oxidation and oil consumption even at high concentrations of biodiesel in the fuel mixture; a high degree of engine protection against wear, which significantly exceeds the new API SN standard, including under extreme climatic conditions. Basic requirements ACEA A5/B5 C1.

API CLASSIFICATION
The American Petroleum Institute (API) is developing international requirements for the quality of oils and criteria for their verification. The letter S indicates that this classification applies to gasoline engines, the letter C - to diesel. The next letter indicates the classification of the oil. API-SL is the latest classification to date, which defines the highest quality oil for gasoline engines.
ACEA SPECIFICATION
The ACEA Association (Association des Constructeurs European d "Automobiles) has been the official successor of the CCMS association since 01.01.96. They determine the quality of motor oils in accordance with European requirements. The new ACEA classifications have replaced the old CCMS requirements. The new classifications for gasoline engines of cars have the following designations: A1-98, A2-96 edition 2, AZ-98, which replaced the old designations CCMS G4 and G5. For diesel engines of cars, the designations are: B1-98, B2-98, B3-98, B4-98, which replace the old designation CCMC PD2.For diesel engines of trucks, the following designations apply: E1 -96 edition 2, E2-96 edition 2, E3-96 edition 2, E4-99, E5-99.
AUTOMOTIVE COMPANY APPROVALS
Various car manufacturers impose additional requirements on engine oils: Mercedes-Benz 227.1 and 228.1 for truck diesel engines, Mercedes Benz 228.3 and 228.5 for truck diesel engines with extended oil change intervals, Mercedes-Benz 229.1 and 229.3 for gasoline engines.
VISCOSITY
Viscosity determines the amount of internal friction in a fluid. It depends to a large extent on temperature and shows by means of a numerical value, for example, 5 W-40), how the oil behaves at low (5W in winter) and high temperatures (40 in summer). For example, motor oil 5 W-40 can be used in winter at temperatures down to -30 ° C and in summer at temperatures up to 35 ° C
ADDITIVES
Additives are chemically active substances. They are added to the oil to improve their characteristics and give them new properties. Antioxidants, for example, increase the resistance of the oil to aging, wear-protective additives protect the engine from increased wear, detergent additives give the oil cleaning properties. Depending on the area of application and load properties, various additives are added to oils in different quantities. In professional language, they say: maspo is alloyed. In modern oils, the proportion of additives is from 15 to 20%
MINERAL ENGINE OILS
Traditional motor oils are made from mineral oils. These oils, however, are limited in their ability to meet ever-increasing demands for extended oil change intervals, increased engine power and anti-friction properties. Typical viscosity values for mineral oils are: 15 W-40 or 20 W-50.
HYDROCRACKING (HC) ENGINE OILS
Hydrocracked oils are mineral base oils that have undergone complex processing. They contain a small amount of synthetic components. Their typical viscosity value is SAE 10W-40
SEMI-SYNTHETIC ENGINE OILS
Semi-synthetic engine oils are mineral oils with the addition of synthetic components. These components improve the properties of oils during cold start of the engine, keep the engine clean and provide good wear protection. A typical viscosity value for semi-synthetic oils is 10 W-40.
SYNTHETIC ENGINE OILS
Synthetic base oils serve as the basis for the production of engine oils with significantly improved properties. Synthetic engine oils are suitable for both gasoline and diesel engines, provide optimal wear protection, good lubrication during cold starts, reduce friction in the engine and keep it clean. They meet the highest quality standards according to API, ACEA and according to the tolerances of automotive companies. Typical viscosities for synthetic oils are OW-4O and 5W-40.
DIESEL ENGINE OILS
Currently, the ACEA specification VZ-98 and V4-98 and VW 505.00 brand approval from Volkswagen make the highest requirements for diesel and turbodiesel engines of passenger cars. These oils are suitable for both turbocharged and non-turbocharged diesel engines.
"EASY-STROKE" OILS (LEICHTLAUF)
These oils have a low viscosity at low temperatures and are characterized by increased thermal and oxidative stability. The oil pump operates in an optimal mode, ensuring oil is pumped through the channels at low temperatures. Thanks to their viscosity-temperature characteristics and modern high-tech additives, they help to reduce fuel consumption. Typical viscosity values: SAE OW-30, OW-40, 5W-40, 10W-40.
ENGINE OILS WITH GOOD ANTI-FRICTION PROPERTIES
These oils have good fluidity at low temperatures, are characterized by low oil pump work and withstand high thermal loads. They provide reduced fuel consumption. Typical viscosity values for these oils: OW-40, 5W-40, 10 W-40.
ALL-SEASON ENGINE OILS
In our temperate climate, multigrade engine oils can be used all year round. In winter, they do not thicken too much, and in summer, at high engine temperatures, they do not thin too much, for example: OW-40, 5W-40, 10W-40, 15W-40, 20W-50.
MOLYBDENUM ADDITIVE MoS2
MoS2 (molybdenum disulfide) forms a strong film on the rubbing and sliding surfaces of the engine that can withstand high loads. Due to this, friction in the engine is reduced, its wear is reduced and the likelihood of motor failure is reduced. Scientific studies have shown that when using MoS2, oil and fuel consumption is reduced, and wear is reduced by more than 50%. Despite all efforts to make the surface of metal parts smoother, it remains with microscopic irregularities. These irregularities are smoothed out by the formation of a film of MoS2. Thanks to this improvement in surface quality, the coefficient of friction and engine wear are reduced.
