As per the title. Looking to do a DIY oil change on my W202 C280 (Inline 6) but am not sure whether Mobil 1 New life 0w/40 is worth a punt to possibly improve performance or more likely to cause me unnecessary headaches with leaks around the engine? Should I just stick to normal Mobil 1 -...

How long does the battery usually last in the keyfob? I bought the car in May 2010 and put fresh batteries in the fob. Last couple of days the key isn't recognised and then eventually works after several tries. Is four months about right for the life of the batteries? The car gets used...

Bureaucrats are hell-bent on reducing car emissions to the point of absurdity, and in the process forcing manufacturers to produce marginally reliable cars that are expensive to fully develop/test and for the owner to maintain/repair. Toyota and Honda are recent casualties in this process which...
