Hi

as my servicing thread seems to have been hijacked (again) thought I would impart a bit of technical info about one or two things

These are from another thread a long while back and may make you wonder

MB 229.3 MB 229.3 - Multigrade engine oils (Specification 229.3) - Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Operating Fluids

MB 229.5 MB 229.5 - Multigrade engine oils (Specification 229.5) - Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Operating Fluids

as might this looking at various cars I have or have driven

Car BHP/Litre
XFR NA Auto 67
SRT 103
Skoda Scout 89
Citroen Berlingo 69
Focus RS 107

The Mercedes Engine isn't particularly stress even when compared to the 1.6 Berlingo!
