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

Conclusion
The manufacturer in the operating instructions for the machine indicates the parameters of the recommended engine oil for Mercedes-Benz E Class. It also describes the lubricants that can be used for topping up. Please note that after refilling, having reached the nearest service station, it is worth replacing the car oil, since prolonged driving with mixed oil is prohibited. The use of various additives is also unacceptable; their use can lead to the entry of the auto engine into failure.
Oil is the main consumable and the most important component for the proper operation of a 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 understand this very well and therefore create their own maintenance regulations, as well as forcibly, in order to maintain the warranty, oblige to replace the engine oil with an interval of 10 and 15 thousand kilometers.
What kind of oil to fill in a Mercedes? There are many points of view, as well as the variety of oils. But the Daimler concern decided to simplify the answer to this question and in 2011 began to produce the original Mercedes engine oil under its brand. And it turned out to be an extremely effective marketing and financial solution!
Of course, Mercedes does not independently produce engine oil, but buys from leading manufacturers (Mobil, Shell, Fuchs, etc.) and then packs and labels it under its own brand. But for the end customer, 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 full line of consumables for complete maintenance.
Since the start of the production of motor oil under the star sign, it has successfully proven itself. At the moment, several types of oils are produced under the name of the original Mercedes engine oil, including those for AMG forced engines. Each of them has its own tolerance and its own unique characteristics.
- Old oils from tolerance sheets 229.3 and 229.31 are almost not 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.
Changing engine oil on a Mercedes
The manufacturer's regulations state that the engine oil must be changed as planned. The intervals for carrying out maintenance depend on many factors - the manner of operation, the limitation period of the previous maintenance, the mileage traveled since the last maintenance.
Replacing impellent oil and oil filter
The engine oil can be pumped out using a special probe (available at filling stations) through the dipstick tube. After this, it is usually necessary to fill the system with oil.
Do not dispose of used oil with household waste or in any other way. This can cause environmental pollution.
When changing the oil, it is advisable to attach a tag with the brand of oil and its viscosity to the engine.
The use of oils of different types adversely affects the operation of the engine. It is also not recommended to mix different brands of oils. Engine oils of the same type and brand, but with different viscosities, can be mixed if necessary, in particular in the off-season.
Required tool:
Required spare parts and consumables:
Removal of impellent oil
Warm up the engine to operating temperature (oil temperature + 60 ° С).
Raise the vehicle horizontally.
Place a container under the oil pan to collect the used oil.
Then it is necessary to screw in the drain plug with a new O-ring. Do not exceed those specified in Specifications tightening torques, otherwise it may lead to leakage and damage.
Lower the vehicle onto its wheels.
Replacing the oil filter
Clean the oil filter flange with fuel. Remove any remaining gasket from the flange.
Lubricate the new oil filter gasket with a thin layer of impellent oil.
Tighten the new oil filter firmly by hand only. After the gasket is against the flange, turn the filter another half turn. Pay attention to the notes on the filter housing.
Tighten the drain plug with a new ring as indicated in Specifications moment.
Refueling of impellent oil
Oil filling is carried out through a special filler neck equipped with a cover in the cylinder head cover (see Section Checking fluid levels, monitoring leaks).
When changing the oil, use a new oil of the same type and, if possible, the same grade. Use a funnel to minimize splashing. At each oil change, attach a decal to the engine indicating the grade and viscosity of the oil filled.
Add oil to the MAX mark on the dipstick blade (see Section Checking fluid levels, monitoring leaks). If the oil level is higher, the excess oil must be pumped out.
After a test drive, check the tightness of the drain plug and oil filter, if necessary add oil carefully.
3 minutes after stopping the engine, check the oil level again, add or remove oil if necessary.
Modern high-performance engines place special demands on engine oils. The oil should not evaporate, and the oil film should not break off at high temperatures of the working surfaces of the cylinders. The oil must burn out without residues, bind soot and dirt so that they do not accumulate in the engine. To effectively combat deposits in the oil system of the engine, oils must have high flushing properties and increased wear resistance.
Timely oil changes are essential for flawless engine operation.
Oil selection
Mercedes recommends the following brands of oils for its diesel engines:
1. CCMC-D4, CCMC-D5 and CCMC-PD2. API CE or CF-4 oil maps of API qualification are only used if CCMC grades are not available. It doesn't matter if you filled in oil at the station or bought it, the packaging should have one of the recommended brands of oil.
2. Oils marked CCMC-G4 / G5 or API SG are designed for gasoline engines and therefore cannot be used for Mercedes diesel engines. But if the package has double markings, for example CCMC-G4 / PD2 , this oil is suitable for both types of engines.
In the European region, with a wide range of winter and summer temperatures, oil with a viscosity grade of 15W-40 (Fig. 4.32) or 10W-40 can be used throughout the year. Only at very low or high temperatures, which persist for a long time, should an oil of a different viscosity be used.
Rice. 4.32. Oil operating range scale
TECHNICAL GLOSSARY
Viscosity. A measure of the expiration of the lubricating properties of an oil. In winter, the engine oil must be so thin that all the necessary components can be lubricated immediately after a cold start. In summer, on the other hand, thick oil is required so that the integrity of the lubricant film is not compromised at high temperatures.
SAE class (Society of Automotive Engineers). Indicates the viscosity grade, for example SAE 15W-40. The lower the first number, the less viscous the oil is in the cold ("W" ~ winter). 0W oil has lubricating properties at ~ 30 ° С, 5W - at -25 ° С, and 15W - at ~ 15 * С The higher the second number, the better the oil withstands high temperatures.
ACEA (Associacion des Constructeurs Europeen d "Automobiles). European oil standard introduced in 1996. Replaces the CCMC standard. For gasoline engines there are grades A1 (oil with a small amount of purified alcohol), A2 (oil with a small amount of additives), A3 (high performance For diesel engines there are grades B1, B2 and VZ.
SSMS (Comittee des Constructeurs d "Automoboles du Marche Commun.) The specification includes the letters" G "(gasoline engines) and" PD "(diesel engines) as well as a number. The higher the number, the better the oil quality.
API (American Petroleum Institute). The specification consists of the letters "S" (gasoline engines), "C" (diesel engines) and others. The further the letter is from the beginning of the alphabet, the higher the quality of the oil.
Crankcase ventilation
Serviceable engines are driven through the piston rings into the crankcase of the engine from 50 to 70 liters of exhaust gases per minute. These gases must be evacuated from the engine so as not to severely stress the seals. This is done by ventilating the crankcase.
Oil consumption
Some of the oil burns out when the pistons are lubricated. A well-tuned engine consumes approximately 0.2 liters per 1000 km, while Mercedes has a maximum permissible oil consumption of 1.5 liters per 1000 km.
PRACTICAL ADVICE
High oil consumption
Please note the following circumstances:
1. Before checking the oil consumption, you need to make sure that it does not leak from the engine (visual inspection of the engine).
2. If the oil level is higher than the maximum mark on the dipstick, then the oil consumption will always be higher, since its surplus is removed through the ventilation system.
3. Multipurpose oil requires constant testing.
4. A harsh driving style increases the consumption of not only fuel, but also oil, especially when driving at high revs.
5. Oil consumption is always higher when running in a new car (minimum -5000 km).
6. The engine may be defective.
