Yes, using low-quality o r incorrect grade engine oil can significantly contribute to excessive oil consumption. Substandard oils may break down faster under high engine temperatures common in Pakistan, leading to reduced lubrication and increased oil burn. It’s important to use oils that meet Mercedes-Benz specifications such as MB Approval 229.5 o r 229.51 and preferably use well-known brands available locally o r imported. Using the right synthetic oil helps maintain engine health and reduces oil consumption.
