I bought these online. On the Mobil1 ESP 5w30 you can see that the label is starting to come off the bottle. Is this a sign of counterfeit oil? The production date is on March 2020.

Yes I am referring tou lifter tick. You can hear them more while the engine is cold at lower rpm I am not sure if its between 1000 to 1500rpm but I noticed that I can hear the tick mostly at lower rpm. If I rev the engine above 2.5k and then let it idle the tick is gone for some time and comes...

I have recently bought a 1992 Mercedes w124 200D with the om601 engine. The car is in very good condition and I plan on keeping it as a classic. It has 145k miles on it. The car is going to be used only for two weeks on Christmas holidays, two weeks on Easter holidays and 2-3 months in the...

In comprarison with other oil analysis on this engine I believe that wear metals are excellent for 15k miles For reference https://oil-club.de/index.php?thread/7792-ravenol-rep-5w-30-mb-c220d-om651-4947km-84h/...

Forgot to mention that after the repair I sold the car.

I used to drive a 2013 Hyundai ix35 with the 1.6 GDI engine. At 60k miles it developed a knock only when the engine was warm. The knock was only noticable after 2k rpm. I immediately changed the oil from 5w30 to 5w40 but that didn't help so I called a tow truck and took the car to the deler...

Thank you for your responses. Usually I make this trip 2 -3 times a year. I changed the oil just before the trip because the car was due for an oil change and service so I wasn't feeling comfortable doing the trip with the old oil. Next week I am going to change the oil again and all the...

Mercedes doesn't call for a specific viscosity. The oil specs allowed for this engine in the manual are 228.51 and 229.31 229.51 229.52. These specs cover the following viscosities: 15w40 10w40 5w40 0w40 5w30 0w30. During the mountain drive the engine was running most of the time from 2k-3k rpm...

I am thinking about switching to Ravenol RUP 5W40. Do you have any experience with ravenol oils?

Yes the car is equipped with a DPF and SCR. The engine is the OM651. Until now I haven't been able to notice a regeneration going on. When I stopped the car I let it run for about 5 minutes at idle but I didn't notice any heat or smell coming from the car. Engine noise was as usual. Next week I...

Last week the oil temperature of my E220 Bluetec went up to 134 ° C(273°F) during a trip to the mountains. Is that normal? Car mileage : 195k miles The oil was Mobil Super 3000 xe 5w30 changed just before the trip. Outside temperature: 34 ° C (93°F) . Coolant temperature: 92 -97 °C (197-206°F)...

If they were my cars I would put the Magnatec in the odyssey and the Quaker state 5w20 in the fit since it seems to be loosing a bit more oil. I own a 2003 fit with the L13A and that engine is really easy on oil.

To start with... I must say that this oil analysis report looks excellent for this amount of milage and for this mercedes diesel engine. If you are concerned about 12ppm of iron over a 18000km oil change interval you should try and search other uoa report for the om642 engine and you would be...

The engine on this car is the OM651 and it has a dpf and the scr catalyst. The car has 90k miles and I want the engine to last as long as possible. Car calls for mb229.51 or mb229.52. What oil would you use for better engine protection and better protection of the timing chain? The oil that...

About half a quart every 3000miles

I will stay with one oil for now. The easiest to find are Castrol and Petronas. Petronas is cheaper but which one do you recomend? I will also change the PCV valve before trying a heavier oil and see how it goes

Does anyone have experience with HHO carbon cleaning?

I am going to check the pcv valve and clean it with some carb cleaner and see if that helps. Yes this is my family car. The manual allows for 5w30 and 5w40 engine oil. I am also planning to do an HHO carbon cleaning but I am a bit concerned if that is going to harm the engine. I havent seen any...

I have the 1.6 Gdi engine on a Hyundai ix35. Its tha same engine as in the non- turbo veloster. The car has 92000km --57000miles. I am always using 5w30 fully sythetic oil. I have tried Fuchs titan 5w30 pro-c3, castrol magnatec c3 5w30 , castrol edge ll 5w30, petronas syntium xs 5w30 and Mobil 1...

I always wondered how the oil will look on the dipstick after an extended oci! My Gdi engine turns the oil almost black after 3000miles. I will post photos from mine tomorrow! How does your looks for those who run extended oil change intervals?
