MB 229.1

MB 229.1 is a specific Mercedes‑Benz specification that defines the requirements for lubricants used in transmissions, bearings and hydraulic systems of the brand’s vehicles. It complies with the MB 229.1 standard, which stipulates a certain viscosity range, high‑temperature stability and wear protection. When selecting a lubricant, you should ensure it carries the MB 229.1 marking, especially for new Mercedes‑Benz models where this specification is mandatory to preserve warranty and optimal performance. Using a lubricant without this specification may lead to increased wear and loss of efficiency.
