Since i'm here already , Frank: What do you suggest for my M111 ? i tried 0w-40, but just burns about 2 qts between oil changes as sportcoupe already stated(little heavy on the gas pedal here).
What should i use, a higher vicosity? Change the oil brand? or add one of those syntethic oil stabilizers?
I do not have the owners manual , that's one of the reasons im asking.

Run on Mobil 1 229.5 product - NO ADDITIVES - just tolerate the oil consumption.

All additives do is screw up a finely balanced premium oil formulation & take it out of spec. Why is your car using oil? If the engine needs rings then you can run higher viscosity non approved oil for a while but you are just delaying the inevitable - an engine rebuild. Most likely cause of oil consumption is valve stem seals. If you run against compression & then floor the throttle do you get a puff of oil smoke out of the exhaust? If so you need to at least replace valve stem seals & maybe valve guides. What mileage has the car done? You have a M111 engine - Yes? - They are rough but tough - But valve stem seals harden at high mileage. Might be an idea to send an oil sample to Blackstone at your next oil change to see what wear rates look like.

Good luck

Thanks for taking your time explaining eveything, im at 92k right now. How hard is it to change those valve seals and guides?. OHH and yes, i have a M111 Also i deleted the silencer on the SC(I really dont know the real name from that piece of plastic, pretty sure you know) , i get an oil soaked Maf sensor every 2 or 3 months. Also, i have a rattle every time i start the car when its been sitting for a little bit. Hahaha, all of my problems detailed.

LK - 92K is not a long way for a well maintained M111 - It is a very durable engine. More so than the M271. Elastomer components like seals nevertheless age. If you need to change guides the head must come off. If you only need to change seals you need to find a pet indy mechanic that is prepared to have a go at holding the valves in place with compressed air or mechanical means while removing the collets & springs & replacing the seals with the head in place.

The rattle after standing is quite common, & likely the timing chain rattling before the oil pressure comes up & the hydraulic tensioners kick in properly. Usually means new chain & tensioners. I've seen some reports on pulley rattle on the M111 as well but this should not be affected by standing..

Suggest you contact C230 Sport Coup - he has fitted an oil catch tank & could give you some advice on oil coming through the inlet system.

Good luck

What adds to my confusion, according to Valvoline's product info page ((Found Here), the SynPower 5W-40 is pending OEM approval for MB 229.51 which has closer specs to Mobil 1 0W-40 such as 14.5 visc@100C versus 14 visc@100C and 89 visc@40C versus 78.3 visc@40C, respectively. Mobil 1 details Found Here. So that makes me think the 5w-40 is a better choice.

I live in Anchorage Alaska where the temps range from ~80s in the summer to -20 in the winter. I do not want to ultimately do harm to my engine nor void my warranty. What do you guys advise?

Thanks in advance!

Use Valvoline Full Synthetic 5 W 30. It has never steered me wrong.

Just ensure that you use the euro formulations of these products that have 229.5 approval.

Where I shop now for OIL in CA. Valvoline Full Syn 5W30/OW20 is 2 bucks more for a 5 quart jug than Mobil 1 5W30/OW20, if you can get ANY Valvoline product for a Dollar buy it man...Valvoline is super oil!

Glyn I realize this is an old thread but after much research on this site and other forums I'm a bit confused about which oil is best. I live in California and all of the Mercedes dealers I have called (several) in my area recommend using Mobile1 5w-40 instead of the Mobile1 0w-40 which is recommended by most on this forum. I asked the dealer guys (in California) why 5w-40 over the 0w-40 and they "all" say the 5w-40 m formulation is recommended on the west coast because it performs better out here due to our warmer temperatures. Anyone have any input on this? Also if the 5w-40 is the oil of choice for the west coast would the Mobile 1 m formula out perform Valvoline's syn power 5w-40 they are both Mercedes 229.5 approved, but the Valvoline is easier to find at the auto parts stores. Link to spec sheets for both are included. I tried to make heads or tails of the info on the spec sheets but haven't a clue what the values represent. Thanks for any input.

0W-40's are world oils that will work from the Arctic to the Sahara desert, In mild California use 5W-40.

I came across this thread as I was doing some research as I want to try Valvoline engine oil for my 2005 CLK 320 with an M112 engine and 161,000 km (100,000 miles).

I live in Lebanon and prior to this, I was using Fuchs TITAN Supersyn LONGLIFE 5W-40 from the dealership which is supposed to be a 229.5 oil and should last 21,000 km - 13,000 miles when used with a fleece filter (I use MANN).

However, when I used that oil for 10,000 km - 6,000 miles, my mechanic and I noticed sludges in the engine and went back to a 5-6,000 km change interval or 3,100 miles.

As I did some researched, I learnt from a local high-level expert that this Fuchs TITAN Supersyn LONGLIFE is made in the Gulf (most probably United Arab Emirates) and that its quality is not as good as the same oil made in Europe. He was specific about some lab processes not being done correctly and enough for oil to last 13,000 miles like Mobil 1 or other 229.5 oils.

So, because of the above, I decided to try out other 229.5 products available in my country and I came across Valvoline products. The story here is that 229.5 lists Valvoline SynPower HST 5W-40 where I could only find Valvoline SynPower MST 5W-40.

I did some further research on MST vs HST, but could not get enough information on whether it would still be better than the Fuchs TITAN crap that I've been forced to using. Any advice on this would be highly appreciated.

Other 229.5 oils available in my country are the ELF Evolution 900 FT 5W-40 and MOTUL 8100 X-cess 5W-40 (too expensive).

Looking forward to your feedback.

Thank you.

Only use what is approved. Benz demands identical spec globally for approved products. Speak to Fuchs.
