Hahahaha
You crack me up when you use 'amsoil' instead of just oil. You do realize that you are bordering on lunacy, right?
IT'S ONLY AN ENGINE LUBRICANT, NOT THE SECOND COMING!
If it were *that* good, I would have heard of it *before* I started hearing your rants.
One question-- Do they pay you to be a stark-raving amsoil lunatic, or do you do it for free?
I forgot to put the oil cap back on after an oil change once, and it made a GIANT mess, I feel your pain. |

If the w123 were absolute perfection, they would have never designed w124 cars.
Something so subjective as perfection cannot be measured-- it is abstract. |

I love the 124s but in some respect they marked the beginning to the end of MB. However perfect the 123 was it was seen as pedestrian – the 124 was total luxury; the first gas MB sedan to be introduced with fuel injection. It also had the cool wedge trunk lid. If I get one it will be because of that trunk lid. US front looks like an escort, unfortunately.
DBT, I think we’ve all don’t that – went down my driveway leaving a trail of oil from the 500 once.
The 300 SE is the scary one with its spin on oil filter. I triple check to make sure the filter gasket’s not stuck to the mount. I like the way the mount is ‘up side down,’ however – ease to inspect.

I use name brand dino oil and change it frequently......if find that fairly cheap compaired to the synthetics.....since soot loading will be a big issue within 10K miles anyway. I forgot that O ring ..........ONCE. I always start the car up and immediately look for leaks before it moves one inch every time I change the oil. Something my father taught me to do before I ever got my first car.
