MB 229.3 MB 229.3 - Multigrade engine oils (Specification 229.3) - Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Operating Fluids

MB 229.5 MB 229.5 - Multigrade engine oils (Specification 229.5) - Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Operating Fluids

Car BHP/Litre
XFR NA Auto 67
SRT 103
Skoda Scout 89
Citroen Berlingo 69
Focus RS 107
