Oil change kit for all Mercedes Benz models equipped with the OM642, 3.0L V6 diesel engine. Includes German-made Mahle filter, 9 liters/quarts of oil and new drain plug seal.
This motor requires a low SAPS oil that meets Mercedes Specification 229.51. Proper oil is vital to protect delicate (and expensive!) emissions equipment.
The default components in this kit are recommended by IDParts. However, we also offer a selection of Mercedes 229.51 approved oils:
- Rowe Hightec Synt RS DLS 5w30- Rowe HC synthesis technology-based, premium, multi-grade, low-viscosity engine oil. Made in Germany.
- Total INEO MC3 5w30 - recently reformulated and approved for the latest European diesel requirements, including 229.51 & 229.52
- OEM Mercedes-Benz fully-synthetic 5w30 oil
- Pentosin HP2 5w40 - higher viscosity than most other 229.51 oils.
- Liqui Moly Top Tec 4200 5w30 - made in Germany
- Mobil 1 ESP X1 0w30 - The new OEM Mercedes dealer oil, approved for 229.51 & 229.52. Mercedes uses this oil in both Gasoline & Diesel engines, and we wonder if it is the best choice for protecting diesel internals.
- Mobil 1 ESP 5w30
2007 models may require an extra liter/quart of oil so we recommend purchasing an additional bottle for model-year 2007 cars.
