All lubricants for your car  - buy at ATO24!

For reliable, safe and low-wear operation, the right lubricants and operating fluids are essential for a car, be it a passenger car or commercial vehicle. Lubricants and operating materials are mainly classified as liquids, such as oils and coolants, as well as more solid substances such as greases. The wear protection and performance development of a vehicle are subject to several different properties of these substances. An essential function of oil or grease is obvious: the lubrication of vehicle components such as engine, transmission, steering and chassis. This contributes to achieving the desired performance and protects the vehicle from wear and tear. Another, but equally important, function quickly fades into the background: cooling the components. Especially in the engine and transmission, the cooling function of the oil is existential, alongside the coolant in the vehicle's water circuit! Operating fluids such as brake fluid or hydraulic fluids play a key role in the safety of a vehicle. These are also exposed to high thermal and physical loads, which is why consistent performance is important. ATO24 is your competent partner from refilling the engine oil to the complete engine, coolant or transmission oil change. In the ATO24 online shop you can get high quality engine oils and transmission oils for automatic transmissions, manual transmissions, as well as differential and transfer cases in a large selection of over 30 brands at reasonable prices. In addition, our product portfolio offers power steering, hydraulic and brake fluids according to various specifications for purchase, in order to have the right fuel for every vehicle. ATO24 is specialized in offering suitable lubricants for almost every car.  With a wide range of products of well-known lubricant manufacturers and OEM products of various car manufacturers, our product range is specialized in oils, greases and other operating fluids for European cars, especially for American cars, US-Cars and passenger cars of Asian brands. A large selection of additives with cleaning, protective or performance-enhancing effects at favourable prices completes the range of products.

For which engines is the MB 229.6 release suitable?

The Mercedes-Benz operating specification MB 229.6 is an engine oil release exclusively for gasoline engines. In principle, it is not issued for diesel engines. 

In addition, the application can be limited to selected engines. Thus, an MB 229.6 engine oil is suitable for gasoline engines of the M270, M274 and M276 series. 

Special properties of the oils

The engine oils with MB 229.6 approval are based on the ACEA A5/B5 specification. For gasoline engines, ACEA A5 stands for a high requirement in the area of aging stability, viscosity stability, fuel economy, exhaust emission, wear behavior and engine cleanliness. In addition, these engine oils present a lowered HTHS viscosity, which in turn results in reduced fuel consumption.

Contrary to the fact that engine oils with the ACEA A5/B5 specification are produced in several viscosity grades, the engine oils with the MB 229.6 release are exclusively available in the viscosity 0W-30 and 5W-30.

As briefly mentioned earlier, the MB 229.6 release achieves a reduced HTHS viscosity. In detail, this lies at a value of ≥ 2.9 to ≤ 3.5 mPa*s. According to Mercedes Benz, these properties allow fuel savings of 2.5% on average. 

What did a lowered HTHS viscosity of ≥ 2.9 - ≤ 3.5 mPa*s mean? The HTHS viscosity describes the dynamic viscosity at 150 degrees and under the influence of high shear forces. A higher value measured in millipascal seconds (mPas) refers to a thicker oil film at higher temperatures.

MB 229.6 is not backward compatible. Not miscible with MB 229.5!

The release MB 229.6 is not backward compatible with predecessor releases from Mercedes Benz. Accordingly, engine oils with the release MB 229.6 and e.g. MB 229.5 should not be mixed with each other.

Difference between MB 229.5 and MB 229.6

The chemical compositions of MB 229.5 and MB 229.6 differ. This also results in differences in their performance. To illustrate this, the US chemical company Lubrizol has attempted to show the respective differences in a network diagram.

The MB 229.6 release surpasses the MB 229.5 release in potential fuel savings.

MB 229.6

• HTHS viscosity ≥ 2.9 to ≤ 3.5
• Sulfated ash ≥ 1.0% to ≤ 1.5%.
• Phosphorus content 0.07 % to 0.11 %.
• Sulfur content 0.5 %

MB 229.5

• HTHS viscosity ≥ 3.5
• Sulfated ash ≥ 1.0 % to ≤ 1.6 %.
• Phosphorus content 0.05 % to 0.11 %
• Sulfur content ≤ 0.5 %
