Yes it’s compatible.
Thank you.
Could you help with another question?
Looking at an engine oil for my 2017 R231 AMG SL63 (engine M157) that consumes less engine oil than Mercedes-brand Mobil1 5w-40 229.5. The thing drinks the Mobil1 oil and I’m tired of it. Mileage is 27k and engine is perfect with no smoke or other issues.
I am considering Kendall Euro GT-1 which shows the 229.51 specification. Besides the possibility of Kendall, do you have any recommendations? I might start a whole new thread on this but figured I’d ask.
Choices that carry 229.5 approval:
1) Castrol
2) Fuchs
3) Liqui Moly
4) Motul
5) Pennzoil
6) Quaker State
7) Shell
8) Valvoline
Some of the above brands carry 229.51 certification also in a different variant. Would you select a 229.51 over a 229.5 for this application, all other things being equal?
