Recommended engine oil for Mercedes-Benz E Class. Original Mercedes engine oil High outside temperature

Oil is the main consumable and the most important component for the proper operation of a Mercedes engine. The performance of the engine 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, and also forcibly, in order to maintain the warranty, oblige them to change the engine oil at intervals of 10 and 15 thousand kilometers.

What kind of oil should I put in a Mercedes? There are many points of view, as well as varieties of oils. But the Daimler concern decided to simplify the answer to this question and in 2011 began producing original motor oil Mercedes. 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 it from leading manufacturers (Mobil, Shell, Fuchs, etc.), then packaging and labeling it 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 full line consumables for complete maintenance.

Since the production of motor oil under the sign of the star began, it has successfully established itself. Currently, several types of oils are produced under the name of the original Mercedes engine oil, including for forced AMG engines. Each of them has its own tolerance and its own unique characteristics.

• Old oils from approval sheet 229.3 and 229.31 b present moment almost never used;
• New synthetic oils with Mercedes 229.5 approval for gasoline engines and 229.51 for diesel engines;
• The latest engine oil with 229.52 approval for diesel engines.

Changing engine oil on a Mercedes

The manufacturer's regulations stipulate that engine oil must be changed as scheduled. The intervals for maintenance depend on many factors - the manner of operation, the statute of limitations of the previous maintenance, and the kilometers traveled since the last maintenance.

The qualitative composition of motor oil affects the service life, efficiency and general work 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.

Before refueling, turn off the engine and the independent heating system.

CAREFULLY

Avoid contact with fuel.

Direct contact of fuel with skin or inhalation of fuel vapors may be harmful to your health.

Fuel tank volume

Depending on the configuration, the total volume fuel tank may vary.

Gasoline (EN 228, E DIN 51626?1)

Fuel quality

Do not use diesel fuel in gasoline-powered vehicles. Already a small amount diesel fuel may damage the injection system.

Fuel your car only with unleaded "Super" gasoline with O.H.I.M. not less than 95 / O.H.M.M not less than 85, meeting the requirements European standard EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1, or gasoline of similar quality.

Fuel of this specification may contain up to 10% ethanol.

E85 (gasoline with 85% ethanol content)

E100 (100% ethanol)

M15 (gasoline with 15% methanol content)

M85 (gasoline with 85% methanol content)

M100 (100% methanol)

Gasoline with metal additives

Diesel fuel

Do not mix such fuel with gasoline or add any additives. Otherwise, engine damage may occur. The exception is cleaning additives for removing and preventing deposits. Only cleaning additives recommended by Mercedes-Benz may be added to gasoline. You can obtain further information on this issue at any Mercedes-Benz Service Center.

As an exception, and only if it is not possible to refuel with fuel of the recommended quality, the car is allowed to temporarily refuel with regular unleaded gasoline with O.Ch.I.M. 91 / O.H.M.M. 82.5. As a result, engine power may decrease and fuel consumption may increase. Avoid driving with a full load.

AMG cars

Fuel your car only with unleaded "Super" gasoline with O.H.I.M. no less than 98 / O.H.M.M. not less than 88, meeting the requirements of the European standard EN 228, or gasoline of similar quality.

Failure to do so may adversely affect engine performance or cause engine damage.

As an exception, and only if it is not possible to refuel with fuel of the recommended quality, the car is allowed to temporarily refuel with “Super” unleaded gasoline with O.Ch.I.M. not less than 95 / O.H.M.M. not less than 85. As a result, engine power may decrease and fuel consumption may increase. However, be sure to avoid driving with a full load.

In emergency cases and only if it is not possible to refuel with fuel of the recommended quality, the car is allowed to temporarily refuel with regular unleaded gasoline with O.Ch.I.M. no less than 91 / O.H.M.M. not less than 82.5.

At the same time, fuel consumption increases significantly, and engine power decreases significantly. Avoid driving with a full load.

If for a long time you have access exclusively to regular gasoline with O.C.I.M. 91 / O.H.M.M. 82.5 or lower, then the vehicle must be adapted to this fuel in a specialized workshop with qualified personnel.

E10 fuel contains up to 10% bioethanol. Your vehicle is suitable for refueling with E10 gasoline. Your car can be fueled with E10 gasoline.

E 300 BlueEFFICIENCY, E 300 4MATIC BlueEFFICIENCY, E 350 BlueEFFICIENCY and E 350 4MATIC BlueEFFICIENCY

Fuel your car only with unleaded, sulfur-free gasoline "Super" with O.H.I.M. not less than 95 / O.H.M.M. at least 85, meeting the requirements of the European standard EN 228, or gasoline of similar quality.

Otherwise, engine performance may be negatively affected or the exhaust gas aftertreatment system may be damaged.

In some countries, commercially available gasoline may not be sufficiently desulfurized. The use of such gasoline may temporarily lead to the formation of an odor, especially when traveling short distances. The formation of odor stops as soon as sulfur-free fuel is refueled (sulfur content 10 ppm).

Additives

Do not fill your vehicle with poor quality fuel and do not use fuel additives that have not been tested and approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Otherwise, it may cause damage or malfunction of the power system.

One of the main problems when using low-quality fuel is deposits formed during the combustion of gasoline. Mercedes-Benz recommends using branded fuel with additives.

Using fuel without additives for a long period of time can lead to the formation of deposits. Sediments are formed primarily in the zone intake valve and in the combustion chamber.

For this reason, problems may arise in engine operation, For example:

Phase increase warming up the engine,

Unevenness of work on idling,

The appearance of noise when the engine is running,

Misfires,

Reduced power.

In areas where gasoline with appropriate additives is not available, use of the fuel may result in the formation of undesirable deposits. Mercedes-Benz recommends in this case the use of additives approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles, see http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com.

In some countries, the quality of commercially available fuel may not be sufficient. This may cause deposits to form. In such cases, it is recommended, after consulting a Mercedes-Benz service center, to add the additive recommended by Mercedes-Benz (part number A000989254510). Be sure to follow the directions and mixing ratio information on the container.

You will receive a list of approved products at any Mercedes-Benz service center. Please follow the directions for use of the product in the instructions supplied with the product.

Do not mix other additives into the fuel. This incurs unnecessary costs and can damage the engine.

Diesel fuel (European standard EN 590)

Fuel quality

CAREFULLY

Do not put gasoline into diesel vehicles. Do not mix diesel fuel with gasoline. As a result, damage to the power supply system and engine may occur. As a result, there is a risk of the vehicle catching fire.

Fuel your vehicle only with diesel fuel that meets the requirements of the European standard EN 590 or equivalent standards. Fuel that does not meet the requirements of the European standard EN 590 may cause increased wear and damage to the engine and exhaust system.

Do not refuel your vehicle with the following types of fuel:

Marine diesel fuel

Boiler fuel

Biodiesel

Vegetable oil

• Petroleum

Do not mix such fuel with diesel fuel or add any special additives. Otherwise, engine damage may occur. The exception is products to improve fluidity. For further information, see "Flow Improvers".

Vehicles with particulate filter: In countries outside the European Union, use only EU low sulfur diesel fuel with a sulfur content below 50 ppm, otherwise damage to the exhaust gas aftertreatment system may occur.

Vehicles without particulate filter: In countries where only diesel fuel with higher sulfur content is available, oil changes should be carried out at shorter intervals. Further information about oil change intervals can be obtained from any specialized workshop with qualified personnel.

As a rule, you can find information about fuel quality at the fuel dispenser. If there is no marking on the fuel dispenser, contact the gas station staff.

For information on refueling, see here.

Low temperature outside air

In winter, diesel fuel with improved fluidity at low temperatures is available for sale. In Europe, different climate-dependent frost resistance classes are defined by the European standard EN 590. By using diesel fuel that meets the climate requirements of the European standard EN 590, engine interruptions can be avoided. At extremely low outside temperatures, diesel fuel may not flow sufficiently. This also applies to diesel fuel from warmer regions, which is not adapted to such climatic conditions.

You will receive further information about the fuel properties required in individual countries at petroleum product complex enterprises, for example at gas stations.

Flow improver

To improve the frost resistance of diesel fuel, a fluid improver can be added to the fuel. The effectiveness of the flow improver is not guaranteed for all fuels.

Use only fluid improvers that have been tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz. Follow the instructions for correct use means for improving fluidity.

To improve the frost resistance of fuel using a flow improver, correct dosage and good mixing are necessary. Overdose should be avoided, as in some cases it can impair frost resistance. Follow the manufacturer's dosage instructions.

Add the additive in a timely manner, even before the fluidity of diesel fuel drops below normal. Otherwise, malfunctions can only be eliminated by heating the entire power system, for example by placing the car in a heated garage.

Fuel consumption information

Environmental notice

CO 2 (carbon dioxide) is a gas that is according to modern science the main cause of excessive heating of the earth's atmosphere (the so-called greenhouse effect). The CO 2 emissions of your vehicle are directly related to fuel consumption and thus depend on:

Efficiency of the engine using the energy potential of the fuel,

Refueling volumes

Motor oil

General instructions

The quality of motor oils is critical to the performance and life of the engine. Based on complex and expensive tests, Mercedes-Benz continually issues approval certificates for motor oils in accordance with the latest technical standards.

Therefore, only motor oils approved by Mercedes-Benz may be used in Mercedes-Benz engines.

You can obtain further information about tested and approved motor oils at any Mercedes-Benz Service Center. Mercedes-Benz recommends that the oil be changed in a specialized workshop with qualified personnel. You can recognize operating materials approved by Mercedes-Benz by the inscription on the oil container "MB-Freigabe" (Mercedes-Benz Approval) and the corresponding specification designation, for example, MB-Freigabe 229.51 (Mercedes-Benz Approval 229.51).

You can find an overview of approved motor oils on the Internet at: http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com, indicating the specification number, for example: 229.5.

The table below shows the motor oils approved for your vehicle.

If the engine oils listed in the table are not commercially available, you can add the engine oils listed below until your next oil change:

Petrol engines: Mercedes-Benz approval 229.1, 229.3 or ACEA A3

Diesel engines: Mercedes-Benz approval 229.1, 229.3, 229.5 or ACEA C3

For AMG vehicles, only motor oils specified in SAE classes SAE 0W-40 or SAE 5W-40 may be used.

In this case, the one-time refill volume should not exceed 1.0 liters.

Refueling volumes

The data below applies to changing the oil while simultaneously replacing the oil filter.

The car engine should work like a clock - smoothly, smoothly and without failures. The most important point in engine maintenance is timely replacement motor oil. Drivers who do not properly select and replace it may subsequently face the need to carry out major renovation engine.

What functions are assigned to motor oil and why is it so important to replace it?

• First of all, lubrication of rubbing and contacting parts.
• Protection of internal engine elements from corrosion by creating a tonic film that limits the access of moisture and air to the metal;
• Due to the circulation of oil inside the engine, there is a natural cleaning of combustion products (soot and soot) that accumulate in the oil.
• Reduction of friction force and protection against overheating;

Cost Cost of work to replace the engine oil and oil filter on a Mercedes from 1100 rubles

In a word, the procedure for changing the oil in a Mercedes engine is mandatory! To ensure proper engine operation, constant monitoring and care is required.

Before changing the oil on a Mercedes, you need to deal with chemical composition and functional load. Not all motor oils can be used in Mercedes. Compatibility is important to consider. The use of lubricants that are not approved by the manufacturer is not allowed.

Mercedes engines have their own specification with a specific tolerance sheet. New standards have now been created synthetic oils, marked with 229.5 standards (for gasoline engines) and 229.51/229.52 (for diesel engines). Standards 229.5 and 229.51/52 determine the viscosity and fluidity of lubricating oils, their thermal stability, aging resistance, and cleaning properties. These most important performance properties must strictly correspond to the units in which they will be used. For example, it fits perfectly with such requirements original Mercedes engine oil.

Oil change - necessity and timing

The more often the oil is changed, the better and safer it is for the Mercedes engine. Maintenance regulations states that the oil must be changed every 10 and 15 thousand kilometers. But according to our practice, changes can be made more often, minimizing mileage.

In urban conditions, the load on the engine and, accordingly, on the oil increases significantly. Car in conditions traffic jams accumulates a greater number of engine hours than was originally included in the standard regulated mileage (10 and 15 thousand km). And this leads to the fact that already on runs, without driving regulated kilometers, engine oil begins to lose its chemical and functional properties.

IMPORTANT! Changing engine oil is one of the basic work carried out as part of scheduled maintenance on a Mercedes.

• Be sure to adhere to the oil change schedule;
• Take into account seasonal temperature changes and, if possible, combine them with replacement;
• Don’t forget about long mileage, high loads in traffic jams and intermediate maintenance;
• Use only high-quality oils and combine their replacement with replacing the oil filter;
• Take into account the factor of low quality gasoline - which reduces the life of the engine oil.

We can summarize the oil change - timely replacement of used oil will extend the life of the engine, excluding serious breakdowns and expensive repairs. Oil is a direct component of the engine and its inseparable part. Do not underestimate the importance of maintenance and avoid overrunning when service is due.
