Hi all
I have an e350 w212 facelift
Just hit 51000 miles
I know the interval for oil changes is every 17500 miles but was wondering if it worth changing the oil every 10000 miles instead as I’m doing 3000 miles a month and wanna pro long the life of the car
Also I cold started it up the other day with the drivers door open and could smell smoke coming from the exhaust it lasted about 5 seconds nothing was visible just the smell fuel filter was changed about 20000 miles ago
And another thing
The 9g gearbox is quite lumpy in the morning on a cold start one driving but about 10 minutes in once it’s warmed up it’s fine
U can fell it change from 1st to 2nd
Then really noticible from 3rd to 2nd
Gearbox oil was changed at 45000 miles
Thanks
For any help
