e. Cautions
- Use only specified Engine Oil (approved by MB Sheet 229.51) for CDPF.
1. Use only specified engine oil (Low Ash Oil)
- The vehicle equipped with CDPF should use specific engine oil to improve the engine
performance and fuel economy, and ensure the service life of CDPF.
2. Issue with normal engine oil
- Sulfur, one of the contents of engine oil is burned and generates soot that is not regenerated by
the DPF. This remains on the filter as ashes and keeps accumulating. Eventually, this ashes will
block the filter.
3. Benefit for specified engine oil
-
Minimized the sulfur content of engine oil which reduces the service life.
- Improved fuel economy and emission level of CO2 with high performance and low viscosity.
- Increased service life of engine oil with high resistance to temperature.
4. Problems when using unspecified engine oil
- The service life of filter may be reduced by 30% or more by the ashes accumulated on the
filter.
- The fuel economy may be reduced because of engine rolling resistance, frequent
regeneration of DPF.
* These problems are also caused by oil with high sulfur content, such as tax exemption oil and
heating oil, etc.
