richy said:Interesting thread regarding changing oil to us new MB guys.
When I dropped the sump on a BM's box the magnets in the tray were the size of golf balls and the fluid not nice! When cleaned they were literally about half inch by quarter long so it shows how much rubbish was being picked up.
I ask in the preventative form of changing the auto oil as I really beleive it would be of value.
How easy a DIY job is this on a C class (old 4 spd) as the Haynes mentions the main sump plug then the "converter drain" has anyne done it themselves on a C or can explain the two items ?
Thanks
Rich
What do you think synthetic oil is made out of, if it's not fossils?MainMan said:I never put dyno juice in my sump or gearbox.

My Mum doesn't tow caravans, not sure about the tyre burn out in the shopping center car park those, but dosen't live in the alps. So will advise my Dad when to get the oil change done!Satch said:Unless your mum tows caravans (shudder) a lot, does tyre burnouts in the supermarket carpark or lives in the Alps I would think about 50K.

The real stuff is "synthesised" (that's a chemical term) from basic hydrocarbons
