I don’t know if the OBDII thing had anything do do with the facelift in 1996,
as all of the information was already there - they just weren’t making it
accessible via the OBDII standards.

Didn't the entire computer system get upgraded in 1996 since they had to change
it anyway to meet OBD-II?
Do any of the mechanical transmission models have a chance of hitting 25mpg on
the highway?

The interior is black.
You’re talking about a lot of speakers, as this has a factory Bose system. All
of the Becker 1492s I have are rebuilts and have the aux input option, too.
Drop me a PM with an offer.

Wherever I can part it.
I had considered trying to sell it on CL “as-is”, but between the need for work
and the salvage title, I doubt that I’ll get any takers. I would expect to
have to price it around $1000 or less or he bottom feeders wouldn’t be
interested. LKQ, the only recycler here in

Mine neither. The only leak on the engine is, I believe, from the

Regardless of claims that the 0W-40 and the 15W-40 are "the same" when hot, my
experience is that the engine was much noisier when hot when I tried the 0W-40
in my OM-617, it just sounded like the oil was thinner. Idle pressure was a
bit lower too, compared to 15W-40.
I like the 5W-40 also, bu
Oh one other note, 61x engines don't get the full advantage of synthetic oil
because they'll tend to hit 2% soot load (MB's measure for when the oil needs
changing) before you can really extend the change interval all that much.
Such is not true with 60x engines. Last I tested the oil in my '85
umption
although I wouldn't hesitate to use it if 5w40 wasn't available.
