My tech printed me off a list of all acceptable oils..2 pages worth...for the 05/06's....

Since the advent of USLD...oils also have reduced sulfur content...what did not work before..may work now...

It took me MONTHS of debugging them. Got it right for now. I think I may have to adjust for OVM da'team now, your way of thinking just might get cloudy due to Judy being with ya.......and the smell of pickels.

"It's hot, it's cold, I cann't sleep with my head downhill, we need to get a room, when are you taking me home!".......etc

OR..."why park so far from the door?" and top it off with "it is so noisy here" when I do park closer...*LOL*

280,000 miles. I just replaced pads and rotors on all four corners. Rotors wore at about the same rate as the pads.

Didn't Sprinter advertise that it had a 300K diesel in it at one time?
