#2 being i don't think you are racing that car so you could ,,should,, USE MOBLE 0-40, if you don't use syntheticyou will get leaks and sludge,, so change the oil every 5000 miles,, it takes 9 qts. buy the oil at walmart or where ever it is on sale, for around 50 bucks and have any oil change shop change it for around 20 bucks. jim.
What is the reason not to change the oil? It is the first time I have read that on here, Rudy said to use the MB specified oil and nothing about filtering and reusing the old oil. It all seems strange to me, contaminants that went through the filter once will go through again.
An explanation is required here.
