Howdy,
I forgot to mention - if your manual is damaged or if you want a spare
it's a real bargain from MB - bought mine for less than $10 last year. I
seldom make it out the MB dealers door for less than $100. $10 is a thrill.

Thanks Larry,
Up until 3:00am last night, going over all the manual. Amazing how much
info is in there, not just the Mercedes ones, but most.

Hi EM,
To use the link John provided you can click on the top line then copy &
paste the second line to the end of the 1st line - then refresh the page
and
you'll see the toolbag/
As far as the oil - I like M1 in 10w30 or 10W40 for your car. But my
experience is with diesels --
The dino Vs Mobil 1 has been discussed at length - I think you should
decide and check the manual -
;-)
Take care -
