BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR MB 229.52, MB 229.51: RAVENOL VMS SAE 5W-30 is

MB 229.52 Multigrade service engine oil Low SPAsh
Engine oil with low sulphur,
phosphorus and sulphated ash content
- Low SPAsh.
The specification MB 229.52 is
based on the standard MB 229.51,
although it has higher requirements for
oxidation stability and fuel consumption
reduction. 229.52 is primarily
tailored to the new BLUETEC engines.
(6-cylinder diesel engines OM642 with
Euro 6 exhaust emission standards
and SCR exhaust gas after-treatment).
MB 229.51 Multigrade service engine oil Low SPAsh
Engine oil with low sulphur, phosphorus
and sulphated ash content - Low
SPAsh.
All engine oils with this approval are
so-called "Low SPAsh" multigrade
engine oils. They all have a lower
proportion of sulphur (S), phosphorus
(P) and sulphated ash (SA). Diesel
engines with a particulate filter (DPF)
primarily require these low-ash engine
oils. In addition, MB 229.51 promises
better fuel consumption compared
with MB 229.5.
The following engines are compatible
with MB 229.51:
Engine oils which are manufactured
in accordance with the MB 229.51
and MB 229.52 specifications can be
used for petrol and diesel engines with
or without a particulate filter.
Petrol engines: M 156 (only SAE 0W-
40 or 5W-40), M 132 (ROW), M 266,
271.
Diesel engines without a particulate
filter: OM 640, 642, 646, 611 in
BR9xx (Sprinter), 660.
Diesel engines without a particulate
filter: OM 629, 640, 642, 646,
660 (EU3/EU4 with unregulated
particulate filters).
A prerequisite is the use of low
sulphur (<50 ppm) or sulphur-free
(<10 ppm) fuel, otherwise the oil
change intervals reduce.
fully synthetic low friction motor oil
with CleanSynto technology for
Daimler passenger car petrol and
diesel engines with and without
turbo-charging and direct injection.
Minimisation of friction, abrasion and
fuel consumption, excellent cold start
characteristics. Extended oil change
intervals according to manufacturer's
recommendations.
The excellent cold start characteristics
provide optimal lubricant safety in the
cold-running phase. Because of the
noticeable fuel economy RAVENOL
VMS SAE 5W-30 contributes the
reduction of pollutant emissions
and protecting the environment.
RAVENOL VMS SAE 5W-30 is Oil
which prevents effectively the reset
of the diesel soot particulate filter.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
MB 229.31, Chrysler MS-11106
Compared with 229.1/229.3/229.5: lower sulphur, phosphorous and ash-

forming content, better compatibility with DPF

Compared with 229.1/229.3: more environmentally friendly, increased potential

fuel savings

229.52 backwards compatible with 229.51, backwards compatible with

229.31: in each case the requirements are more stringent compared with older

specifications 229.1/229.3/229.5

229.52/229.51./229.31 are therefore not backwards compatible with

229.5/229.3/229.1

229.52: currently has the most stringent requirements

The engines are installed in vehicles including the current ML and GL models, as

well as in R, S and G class vehicles.

Additional information about the Daimler oxidation test:
The Daimler oxidation test compares the IR spectrum results of fresh oil and used oil, i.e.
ARTICLE NUMBER SIZE
with aged engine oil which is formed by introducing oxygen (oxidation) and by burning existing
nitrogen oxides (nitration). 1111144-001 20 x 1 L bottle
The comparative exercise consists of three tests and is based on the DIN 51 453 norm: 1111144-004 4 x 4 L bottle
1. Fresh oil/used oil 1111144-005 4 x 5 L bottle
2. Fresh oil/used oil mixed with 5% biodiesel 1111144-010 1 x 10 L canister
3. Fresh oil/used oil mixed with 7% biodiesel in accordance with the CEC L-109 norm. 1111144-020 1 x 20 L Bag in Box
For each test, the result is obtained by summarising the subtraction result of oxidation and 1111144-020 1 x 20 L canister
nitration and by indicating the absorption per cm of thickness (A/cm) in each case. 1111144-060 1 x 60 L barrel
The objective is to ascertain the compatibility of biofuels and oils. 1111144-060 1 x 60 L design barrel
1111144-208 1x208L design barrel
1111144-208 1 x 208 L barrel
Background information: 1111144-700 1 x 1000 L IBC
Specifically for diesel engines with a DPF, there is a danger that fuel may get into the engine
oil when the DPF is automatically regenerated within the vehicle. As a result of the differing
boiling points of biodiesel (approx. 101C) and conventional diesel (approx. 55C), the risk SPECIFICATIONS
that fuel will gradually accumulate in the oil is greater because fuel residues within the oil are API SN, ACEA C3
not able to fully evaporate during the course of short journeys as the necessary temperatures
are not reached for long enough for this to take place.
APPROVALS:
According to EU stipulations (Biofuels Directive), the proportion of biofuels should be gradually
increased and the use of mineral (conventional) fuels should be reduced. These stipulations MB-229.52,
are in place in order to protect the environment and to reduce the greenhouse gases emitted MB- 229.51
into the atmosphere. Similar directives to increase the quota of biofuels also exist in many
other countries, such as the USA, China and Brazil. RECOMMENDATIONS:
MB 229.31, Chrysler MS-11106
) Additional information on the Daimler Fuel Economy Tests:
Daimler carries out various tests relating to fuel economy. These tests include a 24 hour
test with a 2L Mercedes-Benz M111 E20 petrol engine in order to establish the potential
fuel savings resulting from an oil compared with the RL 252 reference oil. In order to avoid
analysis errors, the oil is changed during the test run in order to maintain identical conditions.
In addition to this test, which adheres to CEC-L-54-96 methods, Daimler also carries out
similar tests with other engines. The engines used are test engines from the OM 651,
OM 642 series, which are run with the RL002 reference oil as a point of comparison. The
result is always given as % fuel savings. The results should be within the 1%-2.2% range.

The required fuel saving for the MB 229.52 approval is achieved by the oil as a result of
supplementing it with special innovative additives, which were not yet in use for specification
229.51. RAVENOL VMS SAE 5W-30 therefore also contains an additional molybdenum
friction modifier (molybdenum booster) and organic friction modifiers (OFMs) in addition to
an exceptionally good quality VI enhancer with high shear stability. Friction within the engine
is therefore also reduced to an even greater degree at high temperatures, meaning that
fuel consumption is reduced.
