Hi, Change oil in shorter intervals and hot when the engine is lubricated and 1 less cold start. Don't worry about mixing good oil with new oil. No theories, 40+ years experience.

If you were going to have a cold start anyway it'd seem like it doesn't matter. Of course I do pre-fill the oil filter to help a little against startup wear. I also change hot but I do it because any gunk in the engine (soot maybe?) should be at its best suspension and easiest to get out. Thats the theory anyway. In practice I strongly suspect it doesn't matter. -Curt Date: Sun, 25 Nov 2007 15:04:17 -0800 (PST) From: EDWARD DENNIS Subject: Re: [MBZ] best drainage strategy To: Mercedes Discussion List Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Hi, I was taught to drain HOT for a real hot and lubricated engine will start and not get damaged. An engine will drain as it sits. Draining all in an overnight rest. Cold starts wear all engines because oil takes up to 4 minuets to get everywhere. Even 1960 taxi cabs ran engines 300k miles because the engine was running for 3 shifts: no cold starts. If you pay for an oil change and a trained person does it properly;you suffer no wear at all. I have read MB does suck. (Oil From Tubes) Boat inboard engines have done this Tube suction J tube in oil pan since at least the '40's. Recommended Hot. Done cold by many.
