Of the few high-end filters that I originally had interest in and approached the companies' respective technical people, three of the four have now added their specific listing for the 1l, I3 smart - Purolator, Bosch and Mobil. The only M-B engines that M-B specifically REQUIRES 40-weight oil are the AMGs (M-B Sheet SI18.00-P-0011A). M-B 229.5 calls for a “min 1.8% fuel saving” oil as GF-4 specifically is.

No 40-weight or above (including Mobil 1 0W-40) oils meet ILSAC GF-4. available ENEOS’ is non-ACEA, and the other is non-ILSAC both are SM. I strongly suspect that the engines are delivered filled with Nippon (Mitsubishi) ENEOS Euro spec 5W-30 (SM, ACEA A3/B3). None of the above are listed on M-B Sheet 229.5, but that does not bother me – the Mitsu 3B21 engine is not a M-B. Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 5W-30 (still appropriate to my 5,000 mi/6-month change regimen) My investigation of locally available full synthetic oils indicates six oils that conform to ALL of the above standards:Ĭastrol SynTec 5W-30 (used by scVAB in bulk) My preference, based upon my climate, is a full synthetic 5W-30, as concurred in by my smart center (scVAB) and R. The highest and/or most recent of those standards are: International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) – International There are three widely recognized lubrication standard agencies that are appropriate to smart operation:Īmerican Petroleum Institute (API) – North AmericaĪssociation des Constructeurs Européens d’ Automobiles (ACEA) – Europe

"Quaker State European Formula Ultra 5W-30" is what we call "Q Horsepower 5W-30").įor use in high performance petrol and diesel cars and light commercials where extended drain intervals are specified by the vehicle manufacturer and/or for year-round use of low viscosity oils and/or for use in severe operating conditions as defined by the vehicle manufacturer. When it says "European Formula" that means that the certification labeling authority is the Association des Constructeurs Europeens d’Automobiles, while North America uses an API standard - they are actually quite similar it is a matter of where they are marketed, and the actual brand designations may vary (e.g. Shell Helix Ultra AB 5W-30 (Mercedes-Benz) (GB) Quaker State European Formula Ultra 5W-30 (USA) Premium Synthetik Motorenöl 5W-30 (DaimlerChrysler, D)

Here follows the CURRENT 229.5 (for whatever actual use it is): That smart requirement exists nowhere except in peoples' minds. Other than its inclusion, among others, on the old 229.5, there is no reason to say that Mobil 1 0W-40 is a necessity. So, any quality full-synthetic oil of the appropriate viscosity range for one's climate, and a filter at least equivalent to the quality Mitsu 1230A040 is good-to-go. But the 3B21 is a Mitsu designed and built engine, and Mitsu doesn't prima-face cleve to 229.5 (nor to the implied Mann-Hummel filters). No engine information or recommendations from Mitsu are made available to the public by M-B. My call is this: M-B has gone out of its way to reduce the fingerprints of Mitsubishi on the W451 (they even gave the engine a M-B designation - M132 vs. My smart center has Penske's authority to use Castrol 5W-30 SynPower. By far, most of the others are 5W-30s (then, about 35 of 50+), all full-synthetics. On that particular sheet in the program, which significantly pre-dates the Mitsubishi-engined W451, there is only one product that exists in the U.S.
