Buster - The first oil (factory fill) had 18665 km (11666 miles) on it. The wear does seem to be down a bit and the condition of the oil still appears to be good. I will stick with the MB FSS so the computer and the dealer don't freak out at me. TooSlick - Thanks for the advice on the oil. I...

Thank you all for your replies. Benjamming - all I can say is these SBCs must not generate much in the way of acid contamination in the oil. Good rings? Tight piston clearances? unDummy - I too was wondering about the oil thickening. Do you think the 5W30 will do the same? Time will tell. The...
