Right, what are the FTP sites? thanks, Chris Marshall Booth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Christopher McCann wrote: > OK, How do I do that? I need 115, 124 and 126.
I don't know of a 114/115 site online that works. mb.braingears.com doesn't have the 114/115 images. I do suggest http://skinnerbox.steaky.org/Service/Library.html for the 123/126 images (the 114/115 and 201s don't work) although it is sometimes VERY slow and occasionally down. Using IE results in fewer problems. Downloading the CD from one of the ftp sites IS a superior solution.

It can be used in any climate in the US (temperatures from -30 to +45 C). 5W-50 is an oil we do not have access to so I can't offer a personal comment. Most diesel owners have been less than enthusiastic about 0W-40. 10W-30 is UNSUITABLE except in VERY, VERY cold weather. Use Mercedes, Mann, Hengst or Knecht filters. I would expect 6kmi to be a very reasonable (maybe even conservative) change interval IF your driving is not entirely short runs with the engine never really heating up fully. I would run the Mobil 1 oil for 5-6kmi for one or two changes (to clean things out) and then try to get an oil analysis to see if your soot levels remain below 2% at 5-6kmi. You can safely extend the oil change interval out to a 2% soot level. In MY cars, that gives me a 10-15kmi change interval for largely highway driving and 6-7.5kmi for a car used exclusively in the city. OM61x engines tend to be just a little dirtier (in MY experience) than My OM60x engines.
