service time :(

[GH421]

Its time to service my c270cdi

it's hit 72k

At the moment I have a good mechanic at my disposal and i'm going to get the followin changed. please could you advise me what part and where to get it from? I won't be using dealer parts.

Oil + Filter (5w - 30) Fully Synth Mobil1
Engine Mounts -
Gearbox oil
Diff oil

Should I change the glowplugs too? I don't want them getting ceased due to hot cold hot cold.

I also require a pollen filter housing and a pollen filter

GSF sounds best bet. I hate Eurocarparts! rip off and crap quality.

Use oil specifically for diesel engines.
Standard Mobil 1 is OK but designed and meant for petrol engines.

I would use an MB Filter for the engine,get oil from Costco Mobil 1 is about £23 for 4lts.Don't forget to change the oil filter in the Gearbox + new gasket the cost of the filter & gasket for the gearbox for my C180k on the 21/01/09(this was from MB)was.
£6.60+vat Filter
£6.65+vat gasket
Got the ATF from Opie oils (Discount for MB Club members)
They have lots of info on the Web Site.
