Maybe you've focused on the wrong thing?

Like I said, here we (you) go again. This time you are even making things up.

I have NEVER had a timing chain break on any of my MB's. I don't know where you got that idea. My 84 240D went 380,000 on the original engine before the rear main seal wore to a point that it was leaking. Since the engine has to come out for a rear main seal the engine was rebuilt. It then went about 130,000 more miles before it lost oil pressure catastrophically.

Maybe if I had been changing the oil every 10,000 miles it would still be running. By your logic that would be the case anyway.

Make up some more stuff. You don't seem to be bound by the truth any more.

Have a great day,
