Fifteen years ago, Mercedes-Benz introduced approval 229.5 for light vehicles. Its main requirement is to reduce fuel consumption. The savings should be 1.8% compared to the previously valid 229.3 tolerance.
Engine oils with this approval can be used in Mercedes-Benz equipped with a gasoline engine or diesel power plant that do not have a particulate filter.
Replacement is made after 30,000 km of run. Lubricant 229.5 has properties similar to European ACEA A3/B4.

Oil is the main consumable and the most important component for the proper operation of the Mercedes engine. The performance of the motor and its guaranteed service life directly depend on the quality of the oil and its condition. Car manufacturers are well aware of this and therefore create their own maintenance regulations, as well as forcibly, in order to maintain a guarantee, they are obliged to change engine oil at intervals of 10 and 15 thousand kilometers.
What kind of oil to fill in a Mercedes? There are many points of view, as well as a variety of oils. But the Daimler concern decided to simplify the answer to this question and in 2011 began to produce original Mercedes engine oil under its brand. And it turned out to be an extremely effective marketing and financial decision!
Of course, Mercedes does not produce motor oil on its own, but purchases from leading manufacturers (Mobil, Shell, Fuchs, etc.), then packaging and labeling under its own brand. But for the end buyer, this simplified the selection process, because with this step, the manufacturer himself made the choice for the client, guaranteeing quality and reliability. And unlike other car companies, Mercedes now offers a complete line of consumables for complete maintenance.
During the time that motor oil began to be produced under the sign of a star, it has successfully established itself. At the moment, under the name of the original Mercedes engine oil, several types of oils are produced, including for forced AMG engines. Each of them has its own tolerance and its own unique characteristics.
- Old oils from tolerance sheet 229.3 and 229.31 are almost never used at the moment;
- New synthetic oils with Mercedes approval 229.5 for gasoline engines and 229.51 for diesel engines;
- The latest engine oil with a tolerance of 229.52 for diesel engines.
Mercedes engine oil change
The manufacturer's regulation states a mandatory replacement of engine oil as part of the planned ones. Maintenance intervals depend on many factors - the manner of operation, the statute of limitations of the previous maintenance, the distance traveled since the last maintenance.
Engine oil for Mercedes-Benz approval 229.5
Consumables, oils, lubricants, antifreezes used on Mercedes Benz vehicles are fully systematized and described in a professional publication called MB Silver Book (silver book of Mercedes Benz). Each page of this book is devoted to a certain type of material, for example, modern oils for passenger car engines have a page (Blatte) with the number 229. Permission to use a lubricant is called by the page number: Blatte MB 229.1, 229.3, 229.5 and so on. The larger the last digit, the more perfect the lubricant is meant. So, today, for the vast majority of gasoline and diesel engines without a particulate filter, the most advanced is Blatte MB 229.5. How do oils with this permission differ from others? There are quite a few differences. Oils MV 229.5 are designed for maximum service life, in European conditions up to 40,000 km of run and have special properties. These oils are characterized by a significant number of possible viscosity grades, starting viscosity can be SAE 0W, 5W, 10W. High temperature - SAE 30, 40, 50, which allows these oils to be used on various engines in a wide temperature range. MB 229.5 oils are full-viscosity (HTHS>3.5 mPas) and full-ash (Full SAPS), which determines not only a long service life, but also maximum engine protection against wear. According to the latest version of tolerance 229.5, the alkalinity of such oil (TBN) should not be lower than 10.5, and volatility is also reduced, which, together with a high flash point, significantly reduces oil consumption for waste.
In order to be approved (Freigabe) by Mercedes Benz, it is not enough for an engine oil to meet the European ACEA classification. The oil undergoes additional tests, both laboratory, bench and resource, on real cars. Tests include fouling, detergency, seal and gasket compatibility, and more. Testing is a very expensive undertaking that takes months, and sometimes years, and obtaining the most modern tolerances is not available to all oil producing companies.
Liqui Moly GmbH produces two grades of oil with an MB 229.5 tolerance: different in viscosity. This and During development, these oils are adapted to work with the proprietary Mercedes Benz Assyst Plus System, which monitors service intervals. Oils approved by Mercedes Benz receive nominal approvals and are listed in the list of officially approved products on the website
Engine oils from approval sheet 229.5 are used for all gasoline and diesel engines of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars, with the exception of diesel engines with a particulate filter (code 474 in the data card), in accordance with specification 223.2. Tolerance sheet 229.5 first appeared in May 2002. Sheet 229.5 oils are used for extended service intervals.
The greatest confusion regarding the applicability of oils from tolerance sheet 229.5 concerns M104, M111, M119, M120 engines. If you refer to document BF18.00-P-1000-01B in the WIS program (which is the most important law for everyone who repairs Mercedes), then oils from tolerance sheet 229.5 can be used for all these engines. If we turn to document SI18.00-P-0011B, then oils from tolerance sheet 229.5 are not applicable for M104 engines, but they are quite suitable for M111, M119 and M120. A few more points:
- oils from approval sheet 229.5 are not applicable for M119 engines installed on W210.072;
- oils from approval sheet 229.5 are not applicable for M166 engines installed on W168;
- oils from tolerance sheet 229.5 are not applicable for M155 engines installed on W199;
- oils from approval sheet 229.5 are not applicable to M104 engines for any types other than Gelendevagens. Moreover, in the G-class, oils 229.5 are allowed to be used in M102, and in M103, and in M117! Why is unknown.
The confusion described above has led to the prevailing opinion that the use of oils from sheet 229.5 on M104 engines is unacceptable due to the use of paper oil filters in them, which, according to this opinion, are destroyed by the components of these oils. As a consequence, it is believed that oils from approval sheet 229.5 can only work with fleece oil filters. This is an erroneous opinion. The fact is that oils of tolerance sheet 229.5 have been used in Mercedes engines since 2002, and fleece filters A 000 180 26 09 for M112/113/137 engines have been supplied only since September 2003. This time. The second is that in the oil systems of M111 engines, which, according to all documents, have a tolerance of 229.5, the same paper oil filters A 104 180 01 09 are used. factors (both oil and filter) to increase the service interval (for example, for the M112 motor, the service interval when using this combination increases from 15,000 km to 20,000 km. True, in Germany). Apparently, by the time the documents for increasing the intervals were put into effect, it was assumed that all cars with M104 engines were already out of production, and it was simply pointless to change something in the maintenance system.
As mentioned above, when using oils from tolerance sheet 229.5 and a fleece filter for gasoline engines M112, M113 and M137, it became possible to increase the service interval from 15,000 km to 20,000 km. This does not apply to motors 112.960/961 and 113.990/991/992 - for them the intervals remain the same.
Oils from approval sheet 229.5 obviously vary greatly in performance and are not equally useful for Mercedes-Benz and AMG engines. So, for AMG M112, AMG M113, M152, M156, M157, M159 engines, only oils from the XW-40 series, where X is 0.5, are allowed.

Original engine oil from approval sheet 229.5. Order number: A0009898301.
To make it clear how the requirements for oils from approval sheet 229.5 differ from the requirements of ACEA A3 / B4, a comparative diagram is shown below. The more the field is shaded, the higher the requirements. As you can see, 229.5 is the most rigid tolerance sheet in terms of requirements, much more rigid than 229.1 and 229.3. Maybe even the toughest. And the most modern ACEA A5 / B5 class is also inferior to it in terms of requirements - except for deposits on piston and fuel efficiency, the requirements are higher for ACEA A5 / B5.
The engine is the heart of the car. It is no coincidence that they call it that. As with any mechanism, careful attention and care is required so that it lasts for many years without breakdowns. And the main component, regardless of whether it is a budget or premium car, which allows the engine to work without failures, is engine oil.
Working parts are in contact, which leads to their abrasion. To avoid this, use engine oil. But these are not all the functions that allow you to keep the motor in working condition and affect the duration of work.
Cooling is carried out, especially for the lower part, under the piston, where a high temperature is created.
What characteristics should Mercedes engine oil have? Let's consider the points:
The first. Excellent lubrication between moving parts.
Second. Heat dissipation and thermal stability. It is necessary to prevent overheating of the internal combustion engine.
Third. Special characteristics to keep the internal combustion engine clean.
Fourth. Maintaining a seal between cylinder and piston to prevent loss of pressure and prevent exhaust gases from leaking into the oil pan.
Fifth. Properties that allow the engine to work under load.
It is no coincidence that a Mercedes oil change is the most important stage in car maintenance. Wear particles, combustion products are always in motion during engine operation. There is a replacement - they are removed.
Recommended replacement intervals vary between car brands, but the more often you change, the longer your engine will last. Recommended every 10-15 thousand. km, but this is a long time, it is better to cut it in half and change it every 5-7 thousand km.
In 2011, Mercedes decided to choose Mercedes engine oil for their cars. Production under the Mercedes brand began, which was the right marketing move and the choice of many owners of the German brand.
World motor oil companies: castrol, shell, Lukoil and others offer their products, which are subsequently labeled with the Mercedes brand. Mercedes engine oil is offered in several types for certain types of engines with their own approval.
Tolerances 229.5 and 229.51.
Often on containers you can see the numbers 229.5 and 229.51. What do they mean? This is the main indicator of original Mercedes oils - tolerance. It shows that it is allowed to use this type of oil in German brand engines. The marking means that it was created using modern technologies and is only suitable for Mercedes engines.
Getting permission is a complex process. And in order to indicate the necessary tolerance on the canister label, you should obtain a certificate. First, they do tests. Secondly, the composition is analyzed in special laboratories, and only after all the procedures have been completed and a certificate has been obtained, the required tolerance can be indicated.
First number: for petrol and diesel engines. Second, for diesel engines with a particulate filter. There is also the latest approval 229.52, created for diesels.
There are also old tolerances: 229.1 and 229.3. And if the first admission has long been outdated. Use in modern engines is unacceptable, then 229.3 has characteristics that allow the use of oil in many Mercedes engines.
It is necessary to remember, use the years of release. Mercedes oil with a tolerance of 229.1 for engines manufactured before 2002, and 229.3 after 2002.
But there is also a reason why the choice between 229.3 and 229.5 will take the side of the latter - the price. The first is not much cheaper, but differs in its characteristics from modern counterparts. It is worth paying a little extra and using one suitable for a certain type of engine, regardless of viscosity: 5w30 or 5w40.
Choice between 229.5 and 229.51?
Such a question may arise for drivers, because oil with a tolerance of 229.5 has detergent properties, and with 229.51 - a sulfur content that promotes the formation of solid particles.
Therefore, everyone makes a decision for himself. A smart choice would be to find out what Mercedes offers for a particular engine. If both tolerances are listed, then use 229.5, regardless of whether a gasoline or diesel engine is installed in the car.
The right decision is to contact an authorized dealer who will give recommendations. In this case, you can be sure that they will recommend original products.
How not to buy a fake?
It makes no sense to talk about how a fake can harm a car engine, because it becomes clear that the engine can be damaged. And these are expensive repairs up to the replacement of the engine.
The first and important rule, as mentioned above, is to buy from an authorized dealer. 100% guarantee that the oil will not be fake.
Second, the container label indicates the standards, classes and tolerances. ACEA A3/B4 standard and approval 229.5 required. It will not be superfluous to find out the manufacturer's code, for example, the number a001989530312.
Analogues .
Tolerance - 229.5. Conforms to the European standard ACEA A3/B4.
Total Quartz 9000 Energy 0W30 is a synthetic that Mercedes recommends for use in its cars. Effectively protects against wear of parts.
Benefits of Total Quartz 9000:
It is easier to start a car in winter.
Minimum burnout.
Does not allow deposits, regardless of driving style.
The same, but with a higher viscosity of 0W40 and additional additives, it retains fluidity. That allows you to quickly start the engine at low temperature conditions.
The specially developed Mercedes-Benz PKW-Synthetic Motorenol MB 229.5 is ideal for German vehicles.
Advantages of Mercedes engine oil (I)
It is no coincidence that Mercedes creates oil under its own brand. To be more precise, global manufacturers produce oils that meet the technical requirements of Mercedes-Benz.
The tests carried out have shown that the oil developed for Mercedes engines, in comparison with others, has a high lubricity and allows the engine to work better. The wear of the engine is reduced and the consumption of gasoline is reduced, which will be a big plus for long-term operation of the car.
Motor oil Mercedes, created on the basis of a complex synthesis of oil. This contributes to the creation of an ideal viscosity, regardless of the temperature range. That allows the engine to work at any time of the year in all, even harsh climate conditions.
Special additives are added to the base to help protect against wear of the rubbing parts of the engine and protect the insides from corrosion. Allowing other people's additives is practically a manufacturer's crime. Also, how to change the composition to reduce the price.
The main indicator of quality is the correct ratio of additives, the effect of which contributes to the correct operation of the motor and the preservation of all its parts in excellent condition. And the cost of such a product is quite affordable.
Mercedes-Benz is constantly improving its scientific developments, including in the field of lubricants. It is not surprising that finding out the recipe for making such oil is a secret behind seven locks. Refers to secret developments. This is the difference between original and non-original oil. What class and how many liters are in the canister are already secondary indicators.
Benefits of Mercedes(II) engine oil
Every owner of a Mercedes car understands that it is better to use original products, especially for this brand. Non-original ones do not have special additives that they use in production, which does not guarantee reliable engine operation. The motor resource will be reduced, unstable operation is possible. Repair of Mercedes engines is not a cheap pleasure.
To be sure of the work, you should listen to the banal, but important advice - use only original Mercedes engine oil. Above it becomes clear the difference from other types of motor oils.
Summing up, it should be remembered that in addition to the maintenance of a Mercedes car, changing the engine oil is the main process that contributes to the long-term operation of the engine. And the correct selection of oil allows you not to be afraid that technical problems will occur with the engine. The owner has two ways: change it yourself or contact an authorized dealer who, if necessary, will select the appropriate type of Mercedes diesel or gasoline oil. Synthetics or semi-synthetics. There is a third option, for the first time to come to the dealer to find out which one is better to use, and then buy and replace it yourself the next time.
The use of original products will guarantee that the engine will not experience technical problems associated with the lubrication of moving parts. The manufacturer has already made sure that the original oil allows the engine to work. Like a clock and not cause trouble to the owner of the car. Added special additives create the "ideal" Mercedes oil. And it is not by chance that the emblem of the Mercedes-Benz brand, the global manufacturer of premium cars, flaunts on it. The owner understands that reliability and quality are the two main characteristics of this brand, and he will not allow it. So that the most important product in the face of engine oil could harm the engine. Real reviews of the owners of the Mercedes brand on the Internet only confirm this.
