This is a UOA from my father's 1996 MB E300D. 3L I6 non-turbo diesel engine. Makes about 137hp. Used just about entirely for highway commuting.
He bought it last april or may with about 140k. We changed it over to M1 truck and SUV from whatever the PO's dealer (always dealer serviced) used (maybe M1 0w-40?) We ran it for a short OCI, and now are extending it out. Manuals suggest 7500 mi OCIs.
Looks good to me. I think next time we will do 10k. I think we could do 15k OCIs, but I think Fe may get too high. 10k might be a nice OCI for this engine. Comments???
