If the flex disk have never been done, or are showing cracking, better do them
sooner than later. You don't want one of those coming apart underway.
In my experience the oil cooler hoses give plenty of warning and do not just
suddenly burst. That is based on my W123 though.

I remember doing the front subframe mounts on a W114. Not the easiest job, but
the results were well worth it each time. Amazing how much quieter the car is
afterwards.

Same process for doing the oil in the SL. Makes me happy and less pleased when

Your experience with the W115 mirrors mine - I had three of them over the
years. I always put the front end up on stands as high as I could get it to
make it easier to deal with the filter housing. I missed removing the old
o-ring once, put a new one on the housing - and found out that it doesn't

Yes, I believe you. When you loosen off the bolt holding the filter
housing on, oil comes out all over it, even if the sump has already been
drained.
I do think that it would be easier to re-install the filter housing if I
could stand under it and push it up into the hole. I really cannot see
Even on a lift you get oil all over.
My friend Hans used to complain about it all the time.

Yes, I try to change it late in the fall since I don't drive it during
the winter. For years I put it away on Halloween because my insurance
ran out then. I would switch it to storage insurance for the winter and

of paper towels or pile of shop towels handy.

It’s been many years since I have changed the oil in a 115 but I usually end up
with oil all down my arm. Not fun.

Yesterday afternoon I decided I should change the oil on the car before
I store it for the winter. We are supposed to start getting more
seasonal temperatures by the end of the week which means it will be
fairly cool here. This past weekend was nice and today is nice with a
current temperature
