Thanks Marshall,
I've been using Mobil 1 5w40 which makes alot of difference in cold starting, I
can't see using anything else.

__________________________
I have never owned an OM61x engine that would reliably start without
the
block heater if cold soaked at zero (F). Using Mobil synthetics, I
would
expect that to drop to -5 or -10 F. With series plugs raise those
numbers by 5 to 10 degrees F (as half the heating power is wasted
outside the engine!). OM60x engines are 5 to 10 degrees better than the
OM61x engines with regard to cold starting.

All kinds of red flags. 145 K miles in an 983 300TD??? I don't think so!!
If "Self levelling suspension needs fluid" why not just add some??
There are at least 2 grand worth of other "honey dos", not to mention the
ones he doesn't specify. I hate cracked dashes.
