Hell , even though I didn’t get a stimulus check, I’d still pony up a cool $1000 for it sight unseen. It’d be my retirement vehicle (replacing the ‘08 CLK350 Cabriolet the boy totaled).

Re: [MBZ] Cafe au lait oil?
Yes, if you have a blown head gasket, you will see bubbles... as engine warms up, gasket leak will leak more, which will induce compression gasses into the cooling system... Depending on how bad the gasket or corrosion pinhole problem is, you will see bubbles.. or if it's worse, at high idle or middle speed, the intruding gas will "burp" the coolant out of the overflow tank. If you have a car with a radiator cap, at the top radiator tank, remove the cap and watch what happens to coolant as you run the engine.. speed up engine... coolant surge, with gas intrusion... sure sign you have combustion gas inserting into coolant system. Tear down will tell you where, unless your exray vision glasses are handy... ;)) On Tue, Apr 28, 2020 at 5:49 PM Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Right but I don’t have a radiator neck, I have a coolant expansion tank > with the hose entering the tank up high.

Re: [MBZ] Cafe au lait oil?
If you want an engine to last, be sure to get the oil up to operating temperature every time the engine is started, and keep it there for 20 to 30 minutes. This evaporates the moisture in the oil that forms as a result of the combustion process every time the engine is started.

Re: [MBZ] Cafe au lait oil?
CHANGE THE OIL IMMEDIATELY< AND FILTER. Oil with water is the kiss of death to bearing surface... DO NOT run engine till it has clean oil. Then, run engine and watch for bubbles in radiator tank.. if head gasket is leaking, engine compression overpowers coolant pressure and compression gas will bubble up... If gasket is really leaking, the coolant will surge up the filler neck each time you rev up the engine... If it's a little seep leak, you will get bubbles... If you have bubbles or surge... head gasket replacement...
