I asked for further clarification to see if the formula is really unchanged. I can say that the car seems no different using this oil.
I went either 7 or 13,000 on the oil, I can't find a slip to prove either way... Oops! Good thing I'm using M1. I usually change at ~8,000 on the 617 and 12,000 on the 601. I've never done analysis on the 616 since I don't consider 8,000 a long duration. Need to order kits for the 601 as it nears the 8,000 mark on this oil change. I haven't done analysis on the '84 yet, did a bunch on the '85... -Curt Date: Sat, 02 Jul 2011 17:31:26 -0400 From: Allan Streib <str...@cs.indiana.edu> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] M1 15w50 Message-ID: <m11uy8mksx....@cs.indiana.edu> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Curt Raymond <curtlud...@yahoo.com> writes: > I emailed Mobil and got a reply that since CF was discontinued they > removed it from the bottle but that it still meets CF spec.

Specifically the oil on that spec sheet was "Mobil 1 Tri-Synthetic Formula 15W-50 229.1" Allan -- 1983 300D _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
