My C240 is on 162K and is due its 4 monthly oil change ( I do 25k a yea ). This time, i was wondering if i should do a flush during the change, and whether it is a reasonable thing to do. I do have a lazy tappet on startup, so was wondering if a flush might help the galleries along here.

E270 CDI nearly due for a service having done 130k..
can anybody suggest a good oil to replace with and does the engine need a flush out?
If so what can be recommended to do a good job?
like all E270 diesels it's a little noisy on start up but still pulls well..
this is my first MB and any tips...
2 questions for those curious:

Has anyone tried ramping up the tyre pressure to reduce rolling resistance and increase mpg?

I'd really like it fitted IN the dash, rather than sticking out..
Not quite sure the best way to achieve this?
Hi Guys,
I am thinking of changing the exhaust system on the W124, the guys who modded the car think I should go for a 'no-exhaust' look (i.e. pipes facing down behind the bumper), wheras I am quite tempted to go for a double twin set. Can anyone recomend a good custom exhaust company or bolt...
Im having my ML serviced next week, by my local indy specialist.
I have bought some engine flush, to give the engine a good clean.
It says on the tin, that you should run the engine for about 10 mins, after adding the contents to the engine.

I normally change my engine oil via the dipstick using the pump method.
This has worked fine for the last year.
I would like to do an engine oil flush but am worried that the engine flush will dislodge a lot of gunk that will block the pump.
Is this likely. I do not have the facilities...
