Another engine Oil question, sorry...

[Fastcar155]

Hi everybody ,

Every thing I said is true.

I would never but an ex rep mobile but the best cars to acquire are ex hire cars from the premium fleet.

Every thing is checked upon return from hire and everything that is faulty is back charged to the client.

An inferior oil and it's goosed .

I remember a story of a main dealer supplying for multiple years a guy for DIY services with an older incorrect 10W40 semi synthetic , needless to say...

'Incorrect' in what way?
There's nothing there but some trashed cam followers. Incorrect in what way? Contaminated - did anyone actually check? Not enough ZDDP? - unlikely if it was an 'older' oil. What of the driver's habits? This kind of damage can be caused by excessive rpm straight from cold start (before the oil has got to the cam) on any engine. Are those photographs the actual consequence of '' a main dealer supplying for multiple years a guy for DIY services with an older incorrect 10W40 semi synthetic , needless to say..''?

Another My mate Dave from the pub bullsh1t story.

Well, the same individual posted the story about a Sprint Booster reducing a Mini's 0-60 time by five seconds...

Time to add something to my signature, I think.

It's a claim and I didn't believe it for a moment as there was no video footage of a stop watch or speedo going unlike others...

It almost sounds a made up story to me, a fleet of new company cars on DiY servicing and all damaged engines except his. Or am I just a bit sceptical.
Anyway I’m just off to feed my baby unicorn.

BB's stories are never made-up in my experience, they just occasionally need some further interpretation, and I am still an apprentice - but I'll get there in the end

Oh really? Why not say so, then, or add an emoji ( )?

Very diplomatic response.

Because it's amusing when people get on the hook

 

[E55BOF]

Yeah, right. I think we can form our own opinions of who was taken in.

See if you can't get him to land answers to the questions I asked you earlier.

So....

How do you measure the engine oil level?

Because I'm a dipstick, I stuck my finger in and guessed ...

[Justintyme]

OOPs...had posted this before reading the earlier posts, which answered my question. So Yes, its ok to use in my w212 220 E class, Problem now is that it will not ship to my address !!!

 

[350cls]

Is 5w30 229.51 still the recommended oil spec for the om651?

Is the 651 known for drinking oil?

Back to s manual dip stick. Had one of each with the s211 and w212 63
Now have the s212 651 back to manual dip sticks. The electronic oil check cars are handy has to be said.

Thanks
