The W220 had a 10k swap window.  I think that is the extent of synth.  Gump was 
good for 6k.

Updated the blog tonight.  Entry on seat recovering and remaining items.

Not much left to do on this car, if anything.  It’s pretty sweet at this point.

I wonder if BAT would list it…….

Re: [MBZ] E300td oel and EGR?

2018-05-18 Thread Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes

From comparing results from tests between the 2 it looks like Delvac 
1300 is a little better, TBN is a little higher for example but I am not 
sure what the difference in numbers translates to how much better it 
is.  All I know is the HK oil is literally half the price.  They also 
have a synthetic 5w40 for $15.xx per gallon.

The local farm store had this oil on sale for $10 for 2 gallon jugs. I
bought a couple of cases of it to use in the 92 SD that leaks/burns oil,
but after researching in it, maybe this oil is decent oil which compares
to Delvac 1300 or Delo.

Good quality diesel oil like Delo 400 LE is cheap. I can do a complete change
with Delo 400 LE on the 95 E300D for under $35 every 5000 miles and not have
concerns. If I used Mobil1 it would be near twice the cost. Since Mobil1 is a
group 3 base stock it’s not that much better than conventional dino juice in my
opinion.

Oh yeah, if I drop another $20 on oil analysis I’ve driven my costs up even
more.
