Now Chuck, you know if you go with that Castrol stuff you will have to
remove that M1 sticker you have under the 500E hood.
I spoke w/Arizona Petroleum that is a local distributor of most
brands of motor oil to see if they had any Mobil1. Very little and
no 15W/50 was the answer. But,

John and Larry T,
I found some 15W50 at a nearby NAPA store 12 qts W/the
16V and 500E, I'll be checking in the near future for more. The
car history I got w/the 500E, even w/Mobil1, oil/filter changes NEVER
went over 8,000 miles and most often were about every 3,500

Yup - wife trumps all else. The SLC is nice when you need more

Thanks.

I have to agree, it's the most firm and 'positive'-shifting Benz

The compressor should run almost all the time that the engine is running if
the climate control is anywhere besides Off or Economy. (assuming there's
