Re: [MBZ] E300td oel and EGR?

My 15k was at least half highway driving - that probably contributed to the good analysis results. Oil analysis is valuable for identifying developing problems by detecting excessive wear early. You hope not to find anything, but if you do, you can take steps to repair before you get stranded

Re: [MBZ] E300td oel and EGR?

I think the synthetic stuff resists coking better if it leaks past the turbine seals. I also think it keeps working to higher temps if the engine overheats. And after running it for 100k in the 617a, I am convinced the timing chains wear less with synthetic. Something about better shear

The W220 had a 10k swap window. I think that is the extent of synth. Gump was good for 6k. clay 1974 450sl - Frosch - Two tone green 1986 SDL - Polei 1982 300 SD - Allen > On May 16, 2018, at 5:50 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > So here we go

Re: [MBZ] E300td oel and EGR?

From comparing results from tests between the 2 it looks like Delvac 1300 is a little better, TBN is a little higher for example but I am not sure what the difference in numbers translates to how much better it is.  All I know is the HK oil is literally half the price.  They also have a

Yep, Warren and Citgo. Warren is supposed to make the Supertech that's pretty good. I looked around a bit and it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with the Citgo either. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives

interesting. That would probably be something to know.  From what I have read some places say they think its made by Warren and others say Citgo. On 5/18/2018 6:37 PM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes wrote: I think there's old Harvest King by one manufacturer and new Harvest King by somebody else.

Re: [MBZ] E300td oel and EGR?

The local farm store had this oil on sale for $10 for 2 gallon jugs. I bought a couple of cases of it to use in the 92 SD that leaks/burns oil, but after researching in it, maybe this oil is decent oil which compares to Delvac 1300 or Delo.

Re: [MBZ] E300td oel and EGR?

I had much goodness happen using M1 in the OM615. Much quieter running, smoother, faster. Depends on the need, but I needed to run a few gallons and miles before I could tell there was a real change. I could have swapped back to dino, but all the cars were running M1 by then, so simple

Re: [MBZ] E300td oel and EGR?

IIRC poor Rich can't get the darn car to run, so all this debate about the type of oil is kinda off point. He needs to get it up and running FIRST before worrying about M1 vs. Delvac. My recommendation would be to check the fuel tank filter (screen) if he has not already done so. On Thu, May

Re: [MBZ] E300td oel and EGR?

That’s a function of the detergents, I believe. Using that logic, wouldn’t it make sense to have fresher oil in the engine to get the most benefit from the additives? I’ve only had one car in my life that showed a noticeable difference from running synthetic oil in it, and I’m not totally

Re: [MBZ] E300td oel and EGR?

Mobil1 averages about $26/5 quarts. I can buy 2-1/2 gallons of Delo 400 LE for $26.00, which makes it about $2.60/quart, or half the price of Mobil1. I’m not sure where you’re buying filters for $8.00, I’m paying around $10.00 for Mann or Hengst. So a five quart oil change is actually under

Re: [MBZ] E300td oel and EGR?

You have to get the oil tested to be sure but I see no reason why not. I change at 10,000 on both the Golf and Jetta as analysis shows both happy in that and it's about one change a year. When I was driving a lot more it was twice a year. I took a 190D up to 12,000 with no problem from the

Re: [MBZ] E300td oel and EGR?

Good quality diesel oil like Delo 400 LE is cheap. I can do a complete change with Delo 400 LE on the 95 E300D for under $35 every 5000 miles and not have concerns. If I used Mobil1 it would be near twice the cost. Since Mobil1 is a group 3 base stock it’s not that much better than

Re: [MBZ] E300td oel and EGR?

So here we go again. My line of thinking has been that if you go synthetic over Dino, can you double the internal? For example earlier engines like 617 and 603 have a factory 5k interval. Could you go 10k on those with synthetic? Later engines such as 606 have a 7500 mile interval, so could

Re: [MBZ] E300td oel and EGR?

Same here, I usually went 12,000 miles, and analysis indicated that 15,000 was easily possible. Soot was the most significant level, but was still good in both OM602 and OM603 engines. Even with the oil sucker, I don't like changing oil . . . On Wed, May 16, 2018 at 7:05 PM, Curt Raymond via
