Oil Exteme oil - good or bad experiences any one
| Anil Asher | 26 Sep 2004 13:44 |
1997 E320 purchased at 90,000 miles, the car has been running well since the purchase 6 months ago.
Last Friday I had the oil changed by Mobile Pit Stop, an at your office service which is extemely convenient, at 93000 miles. The oil they used is called Oil Extreme and includes an additive see http://www.oilextreme.com/. The last oil change, according to the book, had been at 80,000 miles with 20W50 Mobil.
On Friday the car ran quite well on my way home but on Saturday I found the car idling a little rough and the engine sounded noisier. I checked the oil level on Sunday morning after the car had been sitting level for at least 10 hours and found the oil level over the max mark. The invoice says they put in 7 quarts of oil which is less than the recommended 7.7. The oil filter was changed with a new one which I provided.
I'm going to take out some of the oil and bring it to the right level but I'd like to hear opinions about non MB oil change services and oils.
Thanks, Anil
