^^ +1 M1 0W-40 as spec'd in the Mercedes, never an issue. Plus readily available.

I would ask my doctor rather than Bob.

I've always been really pleased with products/service at the retrofitsource.com

I suspect it may be same/similar to the C-H 60 gal compressor I bought from Tractor Supply about a year ago. Not an issue to lay it down but some oil can leak as mentioned, depends on which side you lay it on I think. Mine was mounted on a wooden skid and I let it sit for a couple of days before...

You can look here, plug in your filter numbers and compare the stats. http://www.wixfilters.com/Lookup/FilterLookup.aspx

Just curious, have you looked at the date codes on the tires?

Just curious (I hope I didn't miss this in the write-up)did you bleed brake fluid out at all to replenish with fresh fluid? The stuff that sits inside the caliper pistons gets particularly nasty since it's on the front lines so to speak.

Ran Rotella and/or Delo 15W-40 for the last 10 years on my Kubota DT3000 32hp. Never any issues at all.

^^what he said, especially about changing the raw water intake impeller. It's taken a set after all these years and is probably brittle enough to break when the engine is started. Then you get pieces of impeller into the cooling system. Also, before starting "prime" the cooling system with water...

I think RTF hit it on the head. When I bought my MB, the paint looked good yet had that scratchy feel. I also read up on the ceramic-based clearcoat before deciding what to do. The Menzerna products mentioned seem to be the most highly recommended. I used Griot's claybar lubed with Optimum...

IMO they make a great trimmer. I've got 2 FS 85's that I got free about 8 yrs ago as non-running. I put a new carb on one and a new coil/plug wire on the other and they've worked great ever since. If they ever give out I would spend the dough for a new one but at the rate they're going they may...

I just drove in from conroe to IAH airport this morning. Totally normal, in fact lighter than usual lol. Typical overblown mongering from the talking heads.

Other than a possible malfunctioning oil pressure switch, do you have any other indicators that the engine is actually gummed up?

Clutch pack and/or band engagements are typically controlled by internal pistons also called accumulators or servos. Some clutch packs also have their own internal Pistons. All of these devices have rubber seals that can deteriorate over time heat and miles. Fluid is routed into the accumulator...

Perfect. Replace gasket as needed and carry on, nothing to see here

Maybe look into Continental? I've been pleased with life/performance with them on 3 different vehicles.
