Oh yeah, left that out. Definitely filter it to about 5 microns. I wouldn't just go dumping it in. (though it seems you'd just have to replace your car's filters sooners if you did). I might also have a different opinion if I had a pristine Benz that was my baby. I view my 83' 300D more of as "

Filter it really well and pass it through one of those magentized pipes to pick up any stray metal. I would be fine with a quart at each fill up in Gump. Were I to try that with the E300D, she would kill me. On Jan 3, 2007, at 12:06 PM, Hans Neureiter wrote: Long ago there was a discussion

Rich, where on Westpark is that recycle place? O'Reiley's on Hwy 6 is closest to me and they are the ones who try to make me feel bad bothering them. SOB's told me not to set the jugs on the floor and than made me wait forever. I know, and they know what the law is. Does not mean they have to be f

Cummins introduced a program about 2-3 years ago for big rig diesels that introduces a certain ammount of crankcase oil into the fuel system. The claim to fame is that oil change intervals are quadrupled, filterchanges stay the same ant topping off oil goes along with fuel-ups. Luther will should

Hans -- here in TX I believe it is a law that if they sell oil they gotta take oil. I go to the O'Reilly's and just go in back and pour mine in a tank they have (they take filters too), or to the recycle facility on Westpark. The recycle facility is sort of a fun experience, in a weird way, t

Depends on what you mean by "maximum". I'm not positive how well synthetic burns, but I can tell you that regular old oil can be added up to 50% (it's probably gonna be a little bit smokier and more sluggish at that ratio though). You could go higher than that... Personally, if it's nice and war

Hans, IIRC, Marshall said a while or two ago that a quart of motor oil in with a fill up of diesel fuel was about the maximum... Could be wrong tho.. Take care, Chuck Phoenix AZ On Jan 3, 2007, at 10:06 AM, Hans Neureiter wrote: Long ago there was a discussion on how much drained engi
