Hi everybody! I got some Questions About the new MB 229.6 Specifications so I wanted to let you know About my Research! This new spec supersedes 229.5,229.3,229.1 and 226.5 altough .3 and .5 will stick around for a Long time! I found 3 different oils Meeting this specification:
Fuchs pro 229.6 5w30
Shell Helix Ultra 5w40
Total QUartz 9000 0w40
This oil seems to be suitable for high Performance and flexible oil change intervall gasoline and diesel engines without particulate filter! As I am not that much intersted in the chemistry and HTHS, Pour and flame Point and so on Maybe someone can bring this Information as I am sure many of you are interested!
The newest Mercedes Specification for diesels is MB 229.52, I don´t know if this is of interest in the USA because most are running on gasoline I think!
