OM606 oil proposals?
OM606 oil proposals?
Checked search already but nothing common.
What r about viscosity and oil brand using in stock/ tuned OM606 ?
I have used 229.3 and 229.5 BEVO lists and 5W30 Motul 8300 and LM Toptec 4100.
Not bad and very small oil burnout.(~1 liter on 10 000 km)
But now want to use 0W30 or 0W40 Petronas 7000 .
Any thoughts?
Much appreciate any experience!
My regards!

Plus I know someone very well who worked in F1 engine research in the 1990’s and they were sponsored by another brand of oil (not Mobil), but used Mobil 1 in the engines…

It's designed for and works great with soot. Best of all is it's affordable and easy to get at Walmart in the states -don't know about Europe. Surely Walmart has taken over Europe too.
we use rotella t6 5-40 in our vw and ill tell you we have lost 2 oil pans(bugs don't go on rough roads well, specially with no skid plate...) and we have only lost one turbo the engine is still running great. the first time i drove a mile with almost no oil in it, and the turbo still took 6 months to finish off the bearing, still hasnt affected the engine, thank god. I've always run delo 400 15-40 in my mercs but if i had a om606 id run rotella t6 in it. very good oil imo.

Hey Edian, we are neighbors, I am over in Bayview Idaho. I agree with you Rotella is a great oil, I use it in all my Mercedes diesel conversions I do no problems.
