I've only had it 6mths,hence the total fluid change.It's had dealer servicing by the book all it's life,except for the last one at an AA fast lube,and was 5,000km over....so I did a oil only change for 5,000km.The Ultralube is an HDEO,and I may go back to a passenger car oil after this oil change.The dealership where I work recently changed suppliers from BP to Fuchs - I'm happy with either oil.
The car was a trade in on the yard,but not suitable for resale because of the high kms,so I got it for trade in price.We have another C220 with low kms on the yard now for 3 times what I paid for this one.Nice to drive and much better on gas than the 3.0 litre Diamante.

You "what" the Mercedes? Just kidding
Nice ride, didn't know there is actually a brand call Fuch, it reminds me of a city in Austria called ... F___ing and how the residents being annoyed by tourists from various English speaking countries. Town sign thieves are huge problems.

It's pronounced "Fee- oo -wks" rather than how you think it is. Good oil actually.
All Mercedes should be Fuchsed regularly ;o)

No,I'm sure Fuchs is 100% German - I very much doubt the Australians would try to deceive gullible Kiwi's into believing a home brew was the real deal quality German stuff.
What, no pics? Shame on you!

It's not pronounced "Fee-oo-wks" in German. It's "Foox" with a short "oo."

That means we actually do pronounce it correctly here
(or as correctly as Aussies can
)
