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.
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.
