Dieselvolk, Had time to change the oil in my '95 E300 last night. This is the second oil change during my ownership, the first occurred right after I started driving the car post-vacuum pump repair. I used Delvac 1300 for the new oil fill for that first oil change, and the car used probably about 1/2 quart of oil over 6 thousand miles.
For this fill, I'm using Mobil 1 0w-40, and I'm planning to test the oil at the 5k mark. I expect that this engine will produce very little soot, and the limiting factor for next oil change will become the calender. The '87 wagon is now parked and waiting for me to find time to pull the head. Anyone have a #17 or later head they want to sell?
