I just changed the engine oil today in my MB A220 2019. I bought the oil from ECS tuning and the system indicated the 229.5 oil for my vehicle. Now I am confused. The MB approval sheet indicates that this car should use 229.51 or 22.52, but for some reason those oils seems to be for diesel engines, not gas. When I reset the oil counter in the car, it also asked me to choose between 229.51 or 52. I saw my last oil change performed at the dealership when I bought it and they also used 229.5.... not 51 or 52... Am i missing something in here? Is it bad to use 229.5? Thank you for your feedback.

 

I just did my oil change on my 2019 A220 and I used Liquid Moly Top Tec 6600 0w20 which is MB approved 229.71 - https://operatingfluids.mercedes-benz.com/sheet/229.71

Per the owners manual, you can use 229.51, 229.52, 229.61 or 229.71. To achieve the lowest fuel consumption, MB recommends using the lowest SAE viscosity class. I've included the screenshots for future reference along with replacement amount.
