OK, that actually makes sense. Though generally I'm just looking for "less
heat" out of the upper center vents as opposed to "cold air" when I have the
heater on...

On my 83' 300D, I've heard so many stories about the climate control not
working that I have a hard time telling whether mine is working or not.
This center vent thing kind of answers a potential question, though I'm not
sure I ever got much out of them in the summer either...

always overheating, you might want to try it. Otherwise, there's no reason
to do it anyway...

I've seen firsthand how synthetic can clean out crud in your system that was
plugging a leak and you end up with a new leak. However, I've had plenty of
other vehicles that DIDN'T start leaking. There's really no way of knowing
if you have any "plugged leaks" that the synthetic will clean out for y
I agree. I've seen Synthetic "find" leaks, depends on your interpretation as
to whether it "causes" them or not. Basically, there was a leak there before
that the regular oil didn't get through because there was crud blocking the
leak. The synthetic comes along doing it's job and cleans out the cru

Yeah, I could have sworn I was awfully close to 100mph at one point when I
first got my 83' 300D and it didn't act like it was ready to stop
accelerating within the next few mph.
Heck, otherwise why do they bother to put the air pressure sticker with the

Sounds like the Top Gear segment they had a week or so ago with the new Audi
4.2 V8 diesel. He was trying to see if he could average 40mpg and drive 800
miles without refilling. Got rather exciting as he's driving the last few
miles with the trip computer reading "0" miles left, and he started to g

They're lucky they had that option. We used to have a fixed rate plan like

I know what you mean about the tread on the Blizzaks. That's "kind-of" a
trade-off. You only get the top 55% of the tread with the good snow

bottom 45%, instead of all-season like the old ones) However, the other

That sounds like good information to me. Generally you're looking for
narrower tires to cut through the snow, not ride on top. Taller helps to
give you a little more ground clearance, but it throws off the speedo and
generally is limited by fender clearance over bumps. As for tread patterns,
