I have been hearing a lot of weird stuff about changes in Mercedes specs. First, I was told by a tech at a Merc dealership that he received and MB bulletin saying they should only use an oil that meets 229.52 on diesels. I know that most Mercedes diesel is using 229.51. Is it 229.52 oil that is better on 2008 Mercedes ML320 CDi? or 229.52 oil is only good for Bluetec, not CDi? Advertisement
