Oil has been in there for 1 1/2 years and want to keep car ready to take a long trip. Although I don't think the time makes that much difference as long as you get the oil up to full temperature to burn of any moisture and fuel. I did an analyst of my Mercedes SLK supercharged and the oil was in...

Yes I changed it at 1000 miles after it was new. Recommended is 5/20W and says you can use 5/30W It's still under warrant so want to use what the book says. Also it has veritable cam timing which may not work as well with the heavier oil.

I changed oil 1st time at only 1000 miles.

This may be of interest because of the length of time the oil was used. 3 years 3 months. 1999 Mercedes SLK230 Supercharged. Car has an oil countdown gauge that starts a 10,000 miles. it still said I had about 6k miles left before change at 5k miles on the oil. then at approximately 3 years it...

YZF150 I think that you are going to love that car. I have the previous SLK. I change my oil every 5K and if you look at my oil analysis on mine, the oil viscosity breaks down pretty badly at only 5k using the recommended M1 0W/40 Euro. I wouldn't go over 5K on that engine. On first change I...

I like pickled beets with shredded onions as my wife makes them.

How about some pictures of that AWESOME car!

Amazing video

I shutter when I think about having all those contaminates for 10k miles running through my new engine wearing on it. I guess that is why I changed the the oil first time on my wife's Elantra at 1k and my Ninja 1000 at 100 miles. Maybe I'm weird but I want that stuff out of my engine. After...

It was terrible destroying those Ferraris. The actor should have been driving a pick-up truck or dump truck. I owned a 308 GTSi for 8 years. Loved it! Handled great. I had European cam timing and headers on mine and in its day if had plenty of power and sounded great. I drove it 150 mph many...

2015_PSD this is from my MB SLK250 M1 0W-40 with the 1.8 Turbo engine which is the generation before your C300. My cSt Viscosity @ 100°C dropped to 9.65 and should be 11.1 to 14.3 so I was anxious to see your results. Yours is 17.4 Seems my Turbo is killing the M1 Viscosity in my car at only...

I have lots of the digital gauges that have given problems. I use this one on my compressor as you can see the pressure as you are adding and I like the fitting that goes on tire valve. Doesn't lose air as connecting and disconnecting. problem is you have to change air line fitting to US ($1)...

Doesn't that have a Ferrari engine? That should be a real drivers car. A real joy to drive!

Just leave it. It will wear right off.
