If you ever need someone to park/organize your cars, or even be the driver for your M, let me know.

I changed out the original oil the other day. I am now using Red Line 5W20 and the car does seem a bit more peppy now. I will do an oil analysis after a few thousand miles to see how things look.

Isn't 5W-20 a bit thin to be using in your climate? Or for that matter, any MB or Maybach at all? A MB 229.5 or 229.51 spec oil is to be used for your particular model, and no Red Line or any 5W-20 oils are listed as a MB 229.5 or 229.51 spec oil.

If you read my articles below, you will see why I chose this oil. Unfortunately it is the long answer:

Mr. Haas,

Are you God incarnate? I thought so.

Well God, Let me tell you that I have always been a faithful servant, and will continue to be.

I ask for your blessing and thank you for giving me another day of life.

thank you God.

Those are VERY interesting oil articles. Does any of it apply to a diesel engine? I know that several people in the VW TDI forums were hving trouble with finding the right oil to keep their cars under warranty, and also to keep the camshafts from wearing prematurely. I also want to make sure that I have the right oil in my 300D. Any suggestions?
