Progressive dislikes acceleration, in any direction. They ding you for a 'hard brake' at 7mph/second. If you stop for a yellow light, you WILL be penalized. If you routinely run yellow/pink lights, don't corner hard, and drive a diesel, you'll probably do OK. http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/arcmessageview.php?catid=52threadid=1121895 ___ http://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
Re: [MBZ] Vacuum pump oil
Actually you should change it regularly. If you do a lot of service, it's almost monthly. There are guidelines which I don't remember, but I do remember them surprising me at how often it should be changed. I'm not sure either, but for somebody who uses it once or twice a year, or might leave it on the shelf unused for 2 years straight, I think the safe way is to change it after every use. I ran it for 1/2 hour last winter when I bought it, but didn't have any oil on hand at the time.

[MBZ] 350SDL on eBay

Everyone knows the benefits of an Italian tuneup, but all the revving of the engine racing it around the parking lot in a for sale vid didn't impress me or befit the car, especially with the clicking/clacking lifters and/or belt tensioner it just seemed overly loud in general.

[MBZ] OT: UK pilots' union says fatigue is biggest threat to air safety
Exhausted airline pilots are frequently falling asleep in the cockpit, with one in six admitting to having slept at the same time as their co-pilot, their union has warned. The British Airline Pilots Association released the findings of its survey after reports of an incident in August where a passenger plane belonging to a UK airline was left on autopilot as the crew slept. Neither pilot had slept more than five hours in the past two nights before flying the Airbus A330, according to the official incident report logged by the Civil Aviation Authority, which did not issue further details.snip http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/sep/26/uk-airline-pilots-union-balpa-fatigue-survey ___ http://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

Re: [MBZ] A fragrance for the new S-Class
One of my country relatives has had that for years. He buys it at Walmart and hangs it on the pickups rear view mirror next to the rubber dice. Covers up the smell of stale beer really well.

Re: [MBZ] Are the same filters used?
i always found that fleece terminology really strange. i'd think of the old 617 filters that were comprised of cloth milling residue as more fleece than the modern synthetic type material filters. they are just like the paper filters only they use a synthetic filtration medium, like polyester or something instead of the traditional paper medium as you'd find in some old school wix or purolator filter On Fri, Sep 27, 2013 at 12:11 AM, Rick Knoble rickkno...@hotmail.comwrote: On Sep 26, 2013, at 10:08 PM, Gary Hurst jabbahur...@gmail.com wrote: and what do you mean by the oil filter being felt?

Re: [MBZ] Are the same filters used?
Actually, the specifcation is, I believe, string filters, like Wix are. There is a full flow pleated paper element and a bypass filter that is supposed to be tightly wound porous string to give great filtering depth with small particle retention. Needless to say, most filters are packed with gin trash instead of being wound string, it's cheaper. Gin trash, if you are not familiar with the term, is the crap from ginning cotton to remove the seeds that is too short to spin into yarn. Usually full of bits of cotton boll and bug parts.

Re: [MBZ] Are the same filters used?
I believe Mann and Hengst are wound string, so is WIX (at O'Reilly's), so that's what I use. Gin trash is highly variable in filtering capacity and particle size breakthrough.
