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.

Brought my Mercedes SLK into the dealer to have some warranty work done. Bought the car from another dealer as it came off a lease. The dealer had already ordered the overhead light panel and dashboard face I needed. The service writer met me as I drove up under the covered entrance. All...

Nice MANN Filter. I'd like to see a Used Oil Analysis on your c300 with your Pennzoil Platinum European 0W-40 oil. I had the viscosity drop a lot on my turbo SLK using Mobil 1 0W-40 Euro and am now trying Castrol 0W-40 Euro and will post the UOA on next change. Nice ride that C300, then I see...

I use my electric leaf blower, put on my ear muffs and set to 200mph. Save lots of time doing it this way.

I also keep a notebook record and a folder for all records. I also post it on myCARFAX as it keeps your service records and reminds you of the service schedule on your car. Then I "video tape" the oil change and services on my SLK and my wife's Hyundai. With that 10 year warranty on the Hyundai...

Going to be tough to beat Nu Finish for price, long lasting protection, and I like how slick it makes the finish so that bugs and dirt have a hard time sticking. Stick with the Nu Finish.
