The MB 229.52 oils are low SAPS oils and therefore burn with low emissions. The standard is based on MB 229.51. In addition, the oils are required to have good oxidation stability and higher fuel economy. The MB 229.52 standard applies to the OM 642 6-cylinder diesel engines with BLUETEC technology with Euro 6 exhaust gas standard and SCR exhaust gas treatment. The specification MB 229.52 covers the viscosity classes SAE 0w30 and SAE 5w30. The change intervals for engine oils with the release MB 229.52 can be found in your service booklet.
