Mercedes w212 e220 bluetech 65 plate
Hello guys,i have a w212 e220 bluetech 65 plate with 112k on the clock(doing taxi)i wonder witch type of engine oil you will recomand to use.as i had 0w30 from castrol and then i've change it 10k ago with genuine 5w30 from mercedes but since i've change it it makes a strange noice on start and one mecanic said that is from oil,as is not the proper one.thanks someone on other forum recomand's mobil 1 european car formula fs 0w40 but as i've checked that oil is just for america(this guy was from us)
 
As above providing it has the 1 on the end all is good. Low ash for the dpf
 
Actually, I may be wrong in suggesting 229.51 above.

Has 229.52 been introduced specifically for Bluetec engines?

Mine is a bluetec engine, 2012 250 and they suggest 229.51
 
As far as I know the oil specified for all PDF-equipped MB Diesel engines is either 229.51 or 229.52. The latter is the newer spec and the better option, but either will do.
 
I'd try going back to using the Castrol provided it meets the 229.51 spec.
