All the 116s around here rusted away, stinking Russian steel won't
hold up to salt. They rusted away in Germany, too. Otherwise they
were great. Ditto for the W108, other than the rust and new seat
covers, they last forever.

That is very true about the breakage and access. Had to remove the head once
to get at the broken GP. Same hole (#6) got carboned in again, but mechanic
was able to remove it without snapping it off. The carbon is due to lack of
Italian tune ups, so soot built up in the E300D.

Au contraire, 0w40 is a fine oil when its extremely cold. Its the wrong choice
