Hi guys, I have owned the car 11 months, it had a B service 11 months ago. I’m very obsessive with maintenance, changing the oil every 4-5k, so after 4-5k (approx 6 months) I carried out an interim oil and filter change - my plan is to let MB service the car annually and for me to carry out an interim oil / filter change in between.
When I changed the oil, I used MB oil 229.52 spec. I want the same oil to be used, ie not 229.51 which I believe is also sometimes used.
Will it make any difference if I specify for 229.52 to be used? I would happily provide my own oil with an indie, but feel that this would be frowned upon by a main dealer.
I know the differences are minuscule, but I would prefer the newer, ‘proper’ grade of oil to be used, plus the fact I will be using it for interim changes.
I’m hoping I’ve nothing to worry about and that they will use 229.52 anyway?
