In a relatively high mileage car(200 000km ), what is the best oil viscosity to use in my 93 E320 . I do tow a lot and also get caught up in traffic from time to time. I currently use a 15W 40 (Castrol GTX2), but am worried that this might not be the ideal. I do change oil every 10000km. Car...

Have 2 of these incredible cars and can vouch for them. I paid for a 93 E320 wagon here in NZ, $NZ7000 (3500 pounds) a few years ago and my spend has only been tyres and oil/filters and plugs. My car tows a horse float (almost 2 ton) most weekends to shows and can say that it far surpasses any...

Lenses are definately plastic...This was a Jap import 2nd hand into New Zealand 10 years back, I think they have regs regarding using plastic lens in headlights for padestrian safety in accidents, hence limiting use of high wattage bulbs.

I have notived that my 93 E320 headlihts are not as bright as I would like them to be, on inspection it seems as if my lenses are the polycarb units and not glass, does this make a difference. should I just live with this, or change the bulbs to high performance ones?

My wife hass a W168 A 160 automatic (tiptronic)'99 model. We bought it 2nd hand wiht 70000km 5 years ago. The vehicle has just done 155000km. I have serviced this myself form day 1 , change oil and filter every 10000km, and plugs every 30000km. Only issues have been reverse gear sometimes slips...
