The difference is that you drive on highway if I'm correct. I would have similar consumption as you on highway, maybe litle higher mpg.

Not bad for more than 200hp engine but could it be better? With my mentioned car I cruise 49-52 mph with fuel consumption of 52 mpg (average 1700rpm) but when someone else drive my car it is 42 mpg.

Have to disagree with you. Approval 229.5 is for diesel and gas engines without DPF filter just there is a bit more gas engines that uses 229.5 approval.

Thanks for recommendations. According what we all said in this thread, can it be that 229.52 is slightlyyy better for diesels without DPF than 229.5? A lot of online oil recommenders don't show 229.52 but it could be because 229.52 is not so old approval.

It will probably work, but I'm trying to find the best of the best oil for my engine 😅

Those High SAPS oils have good antiwear properties, but are not so friendly with DPF filters and emmision standars. To solve this problem in low-SAPS oil manufacturers added extra antiwear additives, but with that did they achieve antiwear properties that high-SAPS oil has?

No DPF filter and yes, it is actually 21 year old engine. As shown on web pages there are none MB approvals on mentioned oil and I'm focusing on Liqui Moly and Castrol oils.

Those om651 are realy good engines, what is your lowestfuel consumption?

Yep, also heard a lot about om642. This om612 is doing really good and it is funny that all new MB diesels are louder than those engines. I was going yesterday on a ride outside the city and achieved 5.2l/100KM fuel consumption, just a fun fact :), but i am thinking that they could pull little...

So can we say that 229.52 is newer and better version than 229.5? I see you understand those aprovals but is there something better in 229.5 than in 229.52?

Agree with you, but oils with 229.52 are interesting as in approval explanation said that it could be used with and without DPF so it raises question is maybe 229.52 appproval the best of 229.5 and 229.51?

According what I can found online it is Mercedes inline 5 cylinder engine with 20 valves or maybe I don't understand what is VM engine 😅 sorry for that :LOL:

Hi guys, I have Mercedes W210 E 270 (125 kW) with OM 612.961 engine produced in 2000 year with no DPF filter. In last two years I've decided to change oil in my garage and started to questioning about recommended oil for my car. In owner's manual said that should use oils with 229.1 or 229.3 MB...
