The OM616 engine family is a diesel automobile Inline-four engine from Mercedes-Benz used in the 1970s and 1980s, and produced by Force Motors in India from the 1980s to the present.[1][2]
This engine was used in various cars, vans and Unimogs over its production lifetime, and still finds use in Force Motors SUVs. The OM616 is a bored out version of the 2.2-litre Mercedes-Benz OM615 engine, which it replaced.
The abbreviation ¨OM¨ stands for ¨Öl-Motor¨ (Oil Motor), which refers to the fact that it runs on oil. This method of naming is still used on Mercedes-Benz diesel engines today.
