    2012 C63 diff oil change

    Hi all. My C63 hunt continues and has led me to researching whether a missed limit slip diff oil change is something to worry about (no not your car Eddy :thumb:) Should I be? Engine oil I guess is a different beast but this thought has cast my mind back to my old Z4M's 'running in service' at...

    Engine oil consumption

    Just for the record. In case you are interested. My C55 AMG 2006 has used one litre of oil in 1950 miles. About 60% motorway and the rest everyday use (abuse!). I have no idea what make of oil is in the sump as the car is relatively new to me. Cheers.

    Expansion tank for power steering oil.

    I was losing fluid from the join at the bottom of the expansion tank on my ML55. I bought a replacement tank but it was only when I removed the old tank I saw a rubber O ring seal, which wasn't on the new one. I called Kms who supplied it but they said the tank doesn't come with the O ring...

    Oil in intake, E220 OM646

    The car has started puffing a bit of blue smoke on cold starts and I've noticed oil pooling quite badly on the intake side of the turbo. Is the oil separator/breather known to play up on these? (I had similar probs on a BMW E39 and it was the PCV) Otherwise it surely must be the turbo seals...

    Engine oil Temperature

    Before getting my oil service done by MB the oil temperature read 102 at the highest (even after giving it the beans) However after the service (beginning of Feb) the car runs at 108 now without even driving a little spirited. What's everyone else running at ? Anything I should be concerned...

    OIL (not again...)

    Sorry about this, but I'm confused... I've just bought 7 litres of ELF Evolution 5w40 which is I believe a semi-synth. It appears to have been replaced by Evolution 900 and 700 oils. It is approved MB 229.3....so will it be OK in my 1999 CLK230K???? Cheers R

    C63 W204 2014 Estate - Check eng. oil lev. When next refuelling.

    Hi all, I recently bought a pearl white W204 estate and am loving every single minute I spend in the car. I have always loved the looks and sound these superb V8 makes. My previous car was an Audi RS6 C5 - different car and don't think in my opinion that the two can be compared. Both great...
