Re: [MBZ] oil grade for m119
A wavetrac is about 1250, plus bearings and seals. Finding a good rear end shop to do it cheap is a challenge in LA. I swapped it myself and the original shims seemed to give the proper gear lash and mesh pattern. But they are only avail for w124 afaik.

Re: [MBZ] oil grade for m119
Last time I checked about a year ago they had one that would fit in the smaller diff housing on my 123 TD. The problem was they couldn't tell me which ring and pinion setup I would need to match it and fit to the diff. Given the over $2500 price I didn't want to order one and then have to order and buy possibly all three or so of the rings to find out which one would work. If I knew someone in a good diff rebuilding place that would at least let me borrow the rings to try or whom I could trust to do the job right then I might revisit the idea.

Re: [MBZ] oil grade for m119
No, they came with a 2.24 in the US. 2.65 in Europe. The 500e came with a 2.82, but it starts in 2nd gear. The e420 starts in 1st gear due to the tall 2.24 diff. Switch that to a 2.82 and you suddenly have a lot of wheel torque 0-50 mph or so in 1st gear. Feels a bit like an electric car off the line. Doesnt make much racket; just goes. 11:1 compression. I have a 2.65 lsd in the wagon now. It will be fun to see if it is traction limited with the new 606 turbo setup.

Yes. His comment was "that car has a really low first gear!" My mother spilled the beans about the stoplight drags. They are 77 this year, so I guess no one is expecting anything to happen.

Re: [MBZ] oil grade for m119
In the “winter” here in Florida I’ll run 0W-40 if I’ve got a change coming up. In the summer months I might run 15W-50. -D > On Dec 4, 2019, at 1:04 PM, Karl W via Mercedes wrote: > > My father is reliving his misspent youth in our e420 with the 2.82 diff > this week and noticed the oil pressure is low at idle.

[MBZ] oil grade for m119
My father is reliving his misspent youth in our e420 with the 2.82 diff this week and noticed the oil pressure is low at idle. It is only halfway down the stick but I figured I would send him to get it changed. What oil do you guys run in these v8s? I am thinking 10w40 due to the cool 50 degree weather we are having, rather than 15-50 or whatever. Valvoline instant oil change did not have a filter for it, so I sent him driving around indy shops as my mechanic is not an "instant" kind of guy. As far as I know he is still out there, dusting motorcycles at traffic lights until the rear end breaks loose.
