Hi, I have a 1992 W124 Estate 300TD (Non Turbo and I'm pretty certain it’s not multivalve). I was wondering if anyone knows what the performance figures etc would have been for the model, i.e. MPH, 0-60, CO2, weight, cost when new etc or if anybody knows where I can find the information. I am...

At which temperature does an oil flow better? There is no temperature where oil suddenly starts to flow better. A 10W/40 for example will flow between -25C and 100C or more, but there is some difference in the rate of flow! (True viscosity at -25C is about 7000 Centistoke(cSt) units...
