    Techron concentrate, better MPG illusion or running lean causing better MPG?

    But the gas mileage goes back to normal right after I finish up that tank and put in a new tank. The very FIRST tank. Also kinda feels down on power when Techron is in there. It’s quite the anomaly. It’s just some observations and assumptions I’m having. Would kinda make sense.

    Techron concentrate, better MPG illusion or running lean causing better MPG?

    Right? But then returns back to normal after a fuel tank of just gasoline. So it can’t have anything to do with spray pattern. Because your injectors didn’t just go back to being bad right away. I’m only think I can think of is the Techron combust in a way that makes the O2 think you’re running...

    But it returns back to normal after a tank of regular fuel no Techron

    Techron concentrate, better MPG illusion or running lean causing better MPG?

    quite the anomaly right? I think my assumptions might be correct. Also it felt like you were slightly down on power correct? Probably from being lean.

    Techron concentrate, better MPG illusion or running lean causing better MPG?

    I put 1.5 bottles of Techron concentrate in my car according to the label and I’m getting better mileage out of my car. I’m 100% sure I’m getting more distance because I take the same trip from South MS to Mobile, AL everyday. I usually get two full trips then the needle being between the E and...

    Mercedes 229.5 engine oil - Castrol vs. Mobil 1 vs. Pennzoil

    I’ve been using M1 0w40 for the last 15 years. First in my clk500, then in my e550 bi turbo. Recently i switched to pennzoil platinum euro 0w40. There seems to be a difference. Engine revs so much more easier now. Of course I’m comparing new oil to old oil, but when I changed to new oil M1, I...

    Brake rotor life

    How long do you wait to replace rotors? Or do you just measure the rotor thickness and wait until it’s out of spec. Because my 2013 Benz has 75k miles. Thickness nominal is 36mm and minimum is 34mm but mine are measured at a surprisingly 35.9mm. So save the money and wait? The brakes works fine...

    Transmission problems

    Thanks for reply. Yeah the 722.9 is a little more difficult than the 722.6. Getting the temperature exactly right and letting the correct amount drip out is imperative. I pretty much know the exact procedure of doing it, as I watched plenty of videos. But the room for error is so much larger...

    It’s not that bad. I’ve never used a lift to do my transmission flushes. 😜

    Transmission problems

    Guys in MB world guesses a whole lot. They really don’t know much themselves. I do believe it was just overfilled. After I let out the 1 liter, and an additional 1 liter, it’s driving much better. I will let it sit overnight and take a drive tomorrow and re-access. Thank you for the help

    Will I need a special Xentry scanner to get readings or will a $65 scanner be sufficient? Thinking about buying an icarsoft

    Transmission problems

    2013 Mercedes e550. 722.9 transmission that’s also found in some American cars. What are signs of overfilled transmission? Bouncing tach? Rough shifting? Slipping gears? So I did a transmission flush. Felt fine after I did it, even drove on it for a month. But the other day I noticed the rpm...
