Racing oil in tuned OM606
Racing oil in tuned OM606
I only drive spring/summer/fall in Norway (5-35*c temp) Engine has 240 000kms before the tune up, and about 500km after tune With some 5w30 castrol stuff
First the viscosety, shoud it be 5w/30-35-40?
Second, does MB/OM606 engines like thicker oil and would a tuned engine like any different oil than standard MB spec oil?
I work in a car part store and have Access to most oil brands. Many of the guys in the shop ONLY use Motul 300v oil With excellent success. I would like to know if i could use this too :-)
Will post a build thread soon, but a tranny change is first on the list (gs6 53dz)
Hello, i have just build a 500-650hp OM606 With Dieselmeken 230cc/8mm pump and stiffer valve spring but rest is original (internally). I have problems With what oil to choose.

We use a Mobil-1 racing mineral oil, can't remember the viscosity though.

But do any of you know the tollerances in the om606 engines? If it likes thicker og thinner oil?
I guess it woukd be better to use 40 oil, than 30. And the only downside is higher oil pressure, and less flow?
10w60? I would assume that it would be too thick.

I am not a dealer, and the test was done by an individual, not the company. I've just seen nothing but good things from schaeffers
'82 300D -3" straight pipe, ALDA deleted, 3in1 glowshift gauge, HX30, egr-less manifold, A/W intercooler
'14 Ram 6.7l cummins -G56 handshaker, wishing it was deleted
I don't have a om606, but I have seen test results of schaeffers oil against other oils, and more horsepower was made when compared to other top brand racing oils.

Funny to see all the different awnsers
I got some Comma 5w50 oil here at work. I see that it meets the MB229.1 spec, but some Finns at the "mersuforum" said it was too thin? That must be wrong.
Unless 5w50 is the wrong viscosity for daily driving With occational mad man driving, i think i will try this.
After 3-4000km i will drain the oil and inspect it + filter. But if i hear ratteling sounds, or wierd oil temps i'll change to the super expensive Motul 300v oil, and give it a try. (Difficult to obtain Mobil 1 oil where i live)
BTW: What oil temps do you guys get? Min-Max
1) Average driving?
2) Aggressive driving?
Thanks for all the replies.

If you want to know if your oil is providing adequate protection the only way is to take a used oil sample and get it analysed. Blackstone Labs does it for 25 bucks.
