If anyone is curious my list of things that have failed are the valve cover gaskets, transmission gasket, smog pump, the rear window on the ragtop delaminated and fell out, I need a secondary coolant pump for the intercooler, and I have changed out a few other very minor things. This is not too bad for what is essentially a Mercedes AMG with this amount of miles.
I'm using Castrol 0W-40 pure synthetic European blend hoping the engine lasts to 200k miles. Not using the Mobil One 0W-40 that was listed on a sticker in the engine bay when I bought the car. I heard that was not a pure synthetic.
If it isn't they are lying on the Label. (actually have a jug right in front of me.)
