Hence all of the dead wvo cars. They all did not end up in the boneyard from a wvo related issue. Cheapskate wvo users don't generally keep up on maintenance. My cheap Mercedes drives like it should, gets taken care of like it should and treats me well. As far as a documented 300k miles on wvo, good luck with that. No one who can afford a new Benz diesel is going to run it on wvo from new. I will gladly replace an injector pump eventually, I have saved around $1500 or so on fuel with just this car, I can afford to fix it for that kind of savings.
