    Oil Drain vs Extraction

    I used both methods. In the winter months I use the extraction method hooked up to my air compressor. Summer I tend to drain and fill. Mercedes dealerships here all use extraction.

    Oil Recommendation: Mercedes-Benz M119 DOHC V8

    Pennzoil Platinum 5w40 gets my vote with a bottle of liquimoly mos2 added. Been using it in my C43 and car is smooth.

    2017 Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG with about 55000 KM on it. Changing the oily every 5-7K KM with Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5w40 and Purflux L394 filter due to the car being tuned and in Canada! Not pictured, added a can of Liquimoly MOS2 as well.

    MB Metris oil and filter?

    I've used M1 0w40, Amsoil EFM 5w40 and PP 5w40. Sticking to PP 5w40 as its easy to get, on sale a lot at local auto parts store here in Canada (and I run pennzoil platinum in my other cars too) so might as well stick to the same brand.

    Canadian gas. My test.

    Great work on the Ethanol testing!. I switched from Esso 93 to Petro 94 few months back. I have a Mercedes-Benz c43 AMG that is aftermarket tuned so it definitely makes use of higher octane. Unfortunately, until Shell can bring to market an ethanol free 93 or 94 octane gas, im stuck with PC 94

    Switch to Pennzoil platinum or Ultra for 2 OCI at about 8K each. See if the varnish goes away. I am also surprised like others here of the varnish created from a premium boutique oil. Check PCV and replace.
