Company Mercedes Benz divides oils for passenger cars into two main categories: oils for gasoline engines and diesel engines without particulate filters and oils for diesel engines with particulate filters. Each category of oil is divided into oils with different resources. All modern Mercedes engines have a system that monitors service intervals - Assyst Plus System.

Insert:Assyst Plus service systemreads the timing of upcoming maintenance and informs the owner in advance by displaying information on the dashboard. The flexible system allows you to customize your service interval. 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 about the oil being poured is entered into the system. The properties of the oils themselves are adapted specifically for proper operationAssystPlus.

Oils approved by Mercedes Benz receive nominal approvals, depending on the level of quality, and are included in the lists of officially approved products on the website http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com. Approvals are given after testing the oil under certain conditions. Also, tolerances are specified in the vehicle instructions. For example: the instructions indicate that it is recommended to use MV 229.3 oil 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, MV 229.31 and MV 229.51 oils are recommended. An additional unit in the oil approval indicates that the oil is adapted according to the additive package for use in diesel engines with a particulate filter, Low SAPS oils. Adaptation consists of a reduced content of sulfur-phosphorus additives, the use of a modified washing package and reduced alkalinity. The MB 229.5 approval, on the contrary, is issued for oils with high alkalinity (TBN more than 10), reduced volatility and complete package additives Oils MV 229.3 and MV 229.5 are recommended for gasoline 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 popular tolerance is 229.5 for gasoline cars and 229.51 for diesel engines without particulate filters. Liqui Moly GmbH offers Mercedes Benz two motor oils of different viscosities for gasoline engines operated in Russia. This and These oils are created on NS-synthetic basic basis and on highly alkaline additive packages that ensure long service life and excellent engine cleanliness.

For diesel engines with particulate filters, Liqui Moly specialists 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 neutralization system. Also, they are recommended for engines adapted for the use of liquefied and natural gas.

Which oil should you choose for Mercedes (diesel)? Currently, Mercedes-Benz cars are among the best in the world. These are very high-quality cars running on gasoline and diesel engines. Their power is constantly growing, and their consumption fuels and lubricants is steadily declining. On this moment there is a wide selection of components and special means, among which we can note oil for Mercedes (diesel).

Currently, Mercedes cars are among the best in the world.

Difficulties with choosing an oil product

The car owner will have to make an informed choice between one or another means. Technical serviceability largely depends on the correctness of the decision made. vehicle. Any breakdown of a Mercedes car will require significant financial expenses from the car owner to restore the car's performance.

Mercedes' civilian products account for only 13% of the company's production. The rest is military products. Therefore, cars of this brand are very high-tech and require serious maintenance. Pouring any oil into the engine means premature failure of the rubbing surfaces, which will not be easy to replace. There are no cheap and accessible analogues for it. Therefore, the choice of oil must be approached competently. But the problem is that car enthusiasts don’t really like to read what’s written on the label. Motorists can be understood, since the inscriptions on the labels rather resemble some kind of codes or ciphers. But learning them is not that difficult. They determine two main characteristics of oils: viscosity and quality.

Viscosity and quality standard

The first thing you should pay attention to is viscosity. It must always be indicated on the label of a certified product. Now on sale, the main tone is set by all-season oils, which are in great demand by consumers, so we will only talk about them. Standard classification viscosity is indicated by the markings 5W-40 or 10W-40. At first it is quite difficult to understand what they mean, but it is these numbers that clearly define the classification and specification of oil products.

The first letter after the number 5 means winter, from the English winter. This suggests that this product is excellent for winter use and has the appropriate viscosity level. The first number indicates how much oil will pass through the lubrication system and be distributed in it. The number 40 after the hyphen indicates viscosity in the summer. This refers to viscosity at temperatures up to 40ºC. If, for example, the label says 30 instead of 40, this means that the product will only work optimally at 30ºC. If the temperature is higher, the performance properties of the oil will decrease.

Diesel oils belong to the highly profiled CF class. These are high-quality materials for use in high-performance turbocharged diesel engines. This is the kind of oil that may be suitable for a Mercedes with a diesel engine.

Oils for Mercedes diesel engines

There are quite a few different variations of oils for Mercedes diesel models. All of them have the required level of clearance. Some car enthusiasts may not fully understand what oil tolerance is. In fact automobile concerns have always placed great demands on lubricant manufacturers.

It is correct to choose oils for diesel engines according to the tolerance level, because any product sold is based on the obtained standard. Among the oils for diesel engines are Daimler-Chrysler/ Mercedes Benz having permission and certification. They are represented by the following means:

1. Multi-grade oil with MB 228.1 approval. Allowed for diesel engines, excellent for trucks with turbocharging. There is an increased interval between oil changes, which is compatible with elastomeric gaskets, quality is a priority, and then viscosity. It sells well in Europe, but is less common in Russia.
2. Approval MB 228.3. The lubricant, intended for use throughout the entire calendar year, has a multi-viscosity property. Great for both passenger cars, and for huge tractors with or without turbocharging. A car can go about 60 thousand kilometers without replacing the oil element.
3. MB 228.31. All-season oil for diesel cars vehicles equipped with particulate filters. Anti-ash additives are added to the oil.
4. MB 228.5. A highly environmentally friendly product, which is replaced after 50 thousand kilometers for light vehicles, and for heavy-duty trucks - after 160 thousand kilometers.
5. MB 228.51. Year-round lubricant, which is replaced after 45 thousand kilometers. According to Euro-4 standards, it contains an underestimated amount of phosphorus and sulfur. It is more expensive, but the costs are worth it good condition car.
6. MB 229.1. Motor oils specially produced for vehicles manufactured before 2002. It is not recommended to use them on newer brands. Can be used not only on diesel engines, but also on gasoline engines. The product is in great demand both in Europe and in Russia.
7. MB 229.3. The lubricant works all year round; the average replacement period is suitable after 30 thousand kilometers. Does not fit well with vehicles equipped with a particulate filter. Because of this, the price is slightly lower than, for example, the Euro-4 standard.
8. MB 229.31. Lubricant for passenger cars and minibuses equipped with particulate filters. The liquid contains a minimal amount of sulfate ash.
9. MB 229.5. Oils that meet increased environmental protection requirements. Suitable for passenger models, provide minimal fuel consumption. They can be used on gasoline engines. The downside is that the lubricant does not combine well with models with a particulate filter.
10. MB 229.51. Used all year round, suitable for passenger cars, combined with those that have a particulate filter, and has a lower ash content.

The above tolerances are only a small part of the commercially available products. There are a lot of them, and they have a wide variety of properties that can be individually suited to any Mercedes car that runs on diesel fuel.

A big misconception is the opinion that it is believed that these indicators can be taken and measured. After all, the numbers about which we're talking about, represent a collective indicator. Existing classes are assigned to oil only after its comprehensive study and measurement of all parameters and properties for determining viscosity. Next you need to select a quality standard. API is the highest quality mark; it is divided, in turn, into 2 categories according to purpose: for gasoline and diesel engines. Each of these categories is divided into classes. These classes determine the final purpose and specification of the product. This classification must be strictly adhered to when purchasing lubricating fluid.

The manufacturer is interested in ensuring that the service life of its products is no less than that stated. Provides it correct operation, which determines the choice of oil of the required quality so that its properties meet the requirements of individual car models. Approval is a certain quality standard of produced and consumed motor oil that meets all necessary parameters, considered mandatory by the vehicle manufacturer.

Thus, the key criterion during selection oil product The vehicle must have a permit.

By reading the approval code, you can immediately find out all the properties of this product. The approval must be indicated on the label of the product being sold. If it is not there, then the quality of the oil without approval can be questioned. How can one know its purpose?

Choosing the right lubricant is as important as choosing quality fuel. If done incorrectly, it will lead to technical malfunction car, expensive repairs and stress. That is why you need to purchase only the highest quality lubricant that has the necessary approval.

The qualitative composition of engine oil affects the service life, efficiency and overall performance of the engine. Therefore, when selecting a lubricant, it is worth considering not only its base (synthetic, semi-synthetic, mineral), but also the group, class, and viscosity of the liquid. This article describes the characteristics of the recommended engine oil for Mercedes-Benz E Class.

Mercedes-Benz E W124 S124 A124 C124 1984-1997

1996 model

Gasoline car engines

The manufacturer of the Mercedes Benz E Class for lubrication systems of 102 engines recommends using lubricants that meet the requirements:

• motor oil class G4 according to CCMC classification or SG according to API standards;
• viscosity 10w-40 or 10w-50;
• filling capacity is 5.5 liters.

For the lubrication systems of engines 103 and 104 of Mercedes Benz E Class cars, according to the operating instructions for the car, it is recommended to fill in lubricants with a viscosity of 15w-40 or 15w-50. Capacity lubrication system equal to 7.0 l. The difference between the maximum and minimum marks on the dipstick is 1.5 liters. The car manufacturer recommends replacing the oil every 10 thousand kilometers or 2 times a year. The approximate amount of lubricant that will be needed during replacement, taking into account oil filter is 6.0 l (including the oil volume in the filter 1.0 l.).

The volume of engine oil required when replacing for other types of engines, taking into account the oil filter, is:

• 5.8 l. for model 200;
• 5.9 l if model 230;
• 6.5 l for model 260 or 300;
• 7.5 l if model 280 or 320.

Diesel power units

It is recommended to fill Mercedes Benz E Class with motor oils that meet the CD oil type and have a viscosity of 15w-40 or 15w-50. The frequency of changing the lubricant is 10 thousand km. The difference between the maximum and minimum marks on the dipstick is 1.5 liters. The volume of engine oil required when replacing, taking into account the oil filter, is:

• 6.5 l if model 200;
• 8.0 L for 250 or 300 turbocharged models;
• 7.0 L if 250 or 300 model without turbo;

Mercedes-Benz E W210 S210 1995-2003

2001 model

Gasoline car engines

• according to CCMC-G4, CCMC-G5 standards;
• according to API classification - oil type SG;
• in accordance with ACEA A2-96 or ACEA A3-96.

Viscosity is selected based on the air temperature of the region in which the machine will be operated. All-season motor oils with a viscosity of 15w-40 or 10w-40 are used in regions with a wide temperature range. For regions with too low or high temperatures, it is worth choosing special motor oils designed for summer or winter. To select a lubricant for regions that are too hot or cold, you should contact your Mercedes Benz E Class dealer.

The volume of engine fluid required when replacing, taking into account the oil filter, is:

• 5.5 l for the E200 model;
• 8.0 l for models E 240, E 280, E 430, E 320, E 280 4MATIC, E 320 4MATIC;
• 8.5 l in the case of the E 430 4MATIC;
• 7.5 l if equipped with E 55 AMG.

Diesel engines

The Mercedes-Benz E Class manufacturer recommends for its cars oils that meet the requirements of CCMC-D4, CCMC-D5 and CCMC-PD2. In the absence of the specified motor fluids, the use of lubricants that meet API CE or CF-4 is allowed. The selection of viscosity is carried out taking into account the temperature behind the machine bottom according to scheme 1.

Scheme 1. Dependence of the viscosity indicator on the temperature of the region in which the car will be operated.

Explanation of scheme 1:

What is the difference between 5w30 oil and 5w40 oil

Motorists know that choosing the right motor oil for their engine is an extremely important task. It’s good when the manufacturer recommends a specific brand and type of oil. However, owners of older generation cars do not have this advantage. It is necessary to determine the appropriate engine oil as accurately as possible so that the engine does not present surprises at the most inopportune moment. But there are so many symbols on oil cans. For example, 5w30 oil and 5w40 oil. What is the difference?
Definition of oil 5w30 and 5w40

5w30 oil is a motor oil that is used to lubricate car engines. The oil designation contains two numbers that reflect the most important property of motor oil - viscosity at low and high temperatures. To start the engine when low temperatures, you need to choose a motor oil that should not be very viscous. In summer, at high temperatures, the oil, on the contrary, should maintain a lubricating film between the parts. The first number in the designation “5w30” is the class of winter use (the letter “W”, that is, “Winter”, confirms this), the second number is an indicator of summer use. Thus, the oil is all-season.

5w40 oil is an all-season motor oil with a winter use class of 5w and a high temperature rating of 40. These designations are adopted in the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) specification and are the international standard for determining the viscosity of motor oils. Note that the viscosity-temperature characteristics of motor oils are paramount in determining quality.

Comparison of 5w30 and 5w40 oils

It is known that motor oil consists of basic base oils and various thickening additives. It is these additives that provide the necessary effect in winter or summer. However, today, probably to make the work of the motorist easier, multi-season oils are more often used. The viscosity class of the motor oil depends on the quantity and quality of thickening additives. Moreover, this universal oil changes its viscosity under the influence of shear rate. How less speed, the higher the viscosity.

The motor oils we compare today have different amounts of thickening additives. As a result, the second number - the viscosity characteristic at high temperatures - is different. That is, 30 or 40 is an indicator of how long the engine oil is able to maintain a protective film when increased summer temperatures. This is very important property to keep the motor from premature wear and preventing the engine from stopping in the heat while stuck in a traffic jam.

P.S. So, dear guest, my opinion is to pour what was poured and provided by the manufacturer of your Murzik. (100% agree with Willy)
If your engine does not eat oil.

In the event that he began to “eat butter”
there are 2 options.
1. Overhaul of the engine (expensive), or a new engine (even more expensive).

2. Use oil additives (I checked it myself on an old Mazda Demio 1.5 with a mileage of 230 tk.)

I used the Visco-Stabil Viscosity Stabilizer additive from Liquimoly.
The result of replacing the additive is 0.5 liters of oil saving by 5 thousand (this is with a volume of 3.2 liters of oil poured into the engine).
