Does the Rotella T6 5W-40 synthetic oil meet the Mercedes 229.51 specification?

According to the spec sheet (http://s02.static-shell.com/content/dam/shell-new/local/business/rotella/downloads/pdf/rotella-t6-brochure.pdf) it only meets 228.31.Try Castrol 0w-30 or 0w-40, European Formula

See the owners manual and check recommended oil volume for that model, but sounds about correct since that volume was created for German cars.

no idea. it meets Audi's requirements for 2012 A4. check your owners manual and then the label of the oil. it should say it meets certain standards. it should though.Q: does this meet bmw ll01 requirements?A:According to Motul's published specs, yes, it does. A quick Google would have told you this. https://www.motul.com/us/en-US/products/8100-x-cess-5w40?product_category=oils-lubricants

I am not an owner of a Diesel but I have a friend who owns a diesel and from what I know, from reading tons of reviews regarding owners using Rotella T-6 5w-40, in gasoline cars and diesel trucks it's a great oil that meets necessary specs. I use it in all my cars, my Yamaha Virago 1100 motorcycle and even my Piaggio MP3 500 scooter. I have no complaints and I am very happy with this oil.

In my opinion .... probably. But, I would check with my owner's manual. I think this synthetic oil would be fine. I use it in all my motorcycles, and cars / trucks. Porsche recommends oil in this weight range for my Twin Turbo 991.

I've done a lot of reading lately on this subject. I own a 2013 Spyder ST SE5. The Rotella T6 is now rated for JASO MA2 (the best rating for wet clutches like on our Spyders). It was previously rated for JASO MA, and previously carried no rating. But the formula hasn't changed. They keep testing it when new ratings come out. Long story short, it's the best priced oil that will work great in our bikes.

The bottle doesn't has the certification mark as American made oil-bottles but it has the "specification and approvals" listed: ACEA A3/B4. C3; API SM/CF: MB-Approval 229.51; BMW Longlife-04; Ford WSS M2C 917-A; VW 502 00/505 00/505 01.

You may with your hand book to find what grade of the transmission fluid is require when it need to change. You consult directly with Red Line people, they should response to you shortly. Other comparision you may refer to Liqui-Moly, as they are Germany Oil maker, they may more appropriate for German made car. I hope my answer can fulfill your expectation. Thanks

This is not officially sanctioned as a Mercedes or vw 507.0 oil. However I have run this in my vw 1.9 diesel and in a Mercedes 3.0 diesel both with 150k now. The sepecs of t6 actually out perform castrol 507.0, mobile 1 euro 5w30 in shear protection, and far out performs mobil 1 turbo truck in cold starts in shearing protection. There are numerous vw and Mercedes forums that support using this over castrol and mobil 1. However only use this after your warranty is up, as it is not 507.0 approved.

I don't believe so. I didn't purchase mine on Amazon hoever it came in a sealed IR box with a small air filter and bottle of oil. As others have said, when it's time to change the oil, I too strongly recommend IR brand synthetic.

I'm not a 100% sure but I believe it is in the new 0w/40 pennzoil but that being said I have this same oil the 5w/40 euro in my Maserati Gran turismo & I love it! Dave

You really need to measure your oil filter to check the fit. Does your filter have 14 sides (flutes) ? Then measure across the filter to see what size it is. If you don't have a tape measure that reads in MM, then the equivalent in inches is about 2.91. So if it is just under 3", and has 14 flutes, then this tool should fit. Check out this handy guide - http://asttool.com/pdf/OFW-2013.pdf. There are a couple of blank spaces on the Mercedes section, so it would help to know your engine number to figure out if this M-0219 will fit or not. Hope this helps.

You shouldn't run anything but synthetic in your turbo model. 5w-40 is perfect. exactly what the dealer uses. you will gunk up the engine if you use conventional oil.

Shell Rotella #40 or 15W - 40 Motor Oil. Make sure the jackhammer is upright after filling, and look at the sight glass. Should be at the 1/4 mark.

I have a gas engine car , I am sure you will be more than satisfied going for castrol synthetic oil , just choose the right code for your car according with u technical book. Castrol never had problems , and never will ,

I use it at oil changes with 6qts and use the full bottle. My EcoBoost engine gets 5k intervals. I wouldn't add any during a run.
