Man, I want to put that on a banner. We had someone ask for a pulley and tune, only to then realize he was 15k PAST his last oil change. Some people just will never learn. Just do a search on the mbworld boards and see a few people put 85 octane in their car to save money while also running pullies and other mods!
Money and brains doesn't buy common sense. Just running these cars hard with no maintenance is going to cause damage at some point. I give you a hard time, but I know it's the consumers fault. If people want a reliable engine, then don't change anything. Why are they surprised when something goes wrong? You'll be tuning way past my time here. Good luck in the future.
