2011 E350 Bluetec
Hello from SW Mississippi

Hello All,
Just purchased a new to me 2011 E350 Bluetec for my wife. Although we both have been driving diesel powered vehicles for years, this is the first Mercedes.

It seems that Rotella-T is unsuitable for this engine, and I'm having a hard time figuring out which oil to use.

How do I determine whether or not the engine has a "particulate filter"?

Thanks, and looking forward to participating on this forum

Phillip

Do a google search for MB bevo 229.51. IT will show you approved oil for diesels.

After disconnecting the air intake, the engine cover just pops off?
