The Mercedes-Benz OM612 engine is a straight-5 diesel engine produced by Daimler AG ,today Mercedes-Benz.

It was introduced in 1999 for the 2000 model year in a 170 PS (125 kW; 168 hp) version in the W210 E-Class, W211 E-Class, W163 ML-Class, W203 C-Class and W209 CLK-Class in 2000.

On SsangYong models it names D27DT (further DTP) engine or OM665.9xx engine and has another displacement. These models have an index of x270 XDI.

A detuned version with 156 PS (115 kW; 154 hp) was used in the W90x Sprinter from 2000 to 2006, and in some versions of the military G-Wagen.

The OM612 DE 30 LA is a 2950 cc version with 231 PS (170 kW; 228 hp), developed by Mercedes-AMG, was used in the C 30 CDI AMG versions of the W203 C-Class.
