Don,
I know its not a great comparison but my '96 Dodge Dakota doesn't use hardly
any oil in 3,000 miles and its got over 180k miles. I've owned it for nearly
130,000 of those.
It was leaking badly from the rear main seal (about a quart in 500 miles) until
I switched to Mobil 1, that was around 60k ago. I never did replace the seal it
just leaked less and less.

Really? Assuming this guy is telling the truth (I know that is a big
assumption) he says it does not use ANY oil in 3000 miles. Could this
one be lucky? Or is it just a matter of time?

Wonder if the W140 w/OM606 turbo was ever imported as a foreign
diplomat's personal vehicle. That's the only manner in which I can
imagine one of those cars entering the country...at least until 25
years from their original build date, when they'll be legally open for
importation.
