civicturbo79 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Castrol Magnatec 10W40. is the best stuff for a n/a mb6 . When was the last time you checked the oil the all use a bit dispite what people say . some more than others most mb6 owners i know use about a litre and month . if they do alot of short runs . As for the heater blowers being weak that is a block pollen filter just behind the gloveboxRich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

civicturbo79 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 cheers mate..life saver..i do a lot of miles on the motor way..its only been 4 months and i already done 9K miles...There you go then mate 9k in 4 months thats loads of miles, thats like 500 miles a week . If you run it out of oil you will be looking at a new second hand engine as rebuilding an engine that has ran out of oil is big money .So it worth getting into the habbit of check the oil every week .

kash Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I usually use 5w-40 for extra protection during cold start ups.I always use Motul fully synthetic as I find the engine hardly burns any oil, in 6000 miles only needed to top up less than a litre. Due for another change now have ordered this stuff from opieoils...http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-877-motul-8 ... hetic.aspxWorks well for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalesi2001 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 MB6's seem to be different, i guess it depends on how hard its life has been and how well its been looked after. There are members on here that top up a litre a month, i do the 6,000 miles/6 months service that we are supposed to so, and i never ever have to top up the oil, i guess ive just been really lucky on the engine side of things....shame the rest of the car was a shed when i got her!! And I always use Castrol Magnatex 10w40, its only about £20 - £25 for 4 litres if you go somewhere like Asda or Tesco, why pay Halfords prices!! I'd nick it from work but the new hondas run on 0w30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
