ATF I have heard is not a good thing to use in MB's. Although Catapillar reccomends use in their engines. (500k warranty)

Marvel Mystery Oil is Much Nicer to the gas/diesel engines. It doesn't put bad carbon deposits in the engine's combustion chambers, it is great lubricant for just about anything on any engine. Also is good for all your Air Tools too. :-)

On a gas engine, if you have lazy lifters, Marvel Mystery to the rescue, pour down the carb - it'll help those lazy non-pumping lifters to work again - and watch all that smoke! out the hind side

You can put Marvel in your fuel tank or squirt into the intake to lube everything up insides

For those of you that still have Carburators and want to clean out that gasoline engine, try dumping a 16 oz glass of water down the carb - have to pour slowly and hold throttle about 1/3 open. Must do when engine is fully warmed up. Should see a lot of black smoke! No smoke means already clean.

It also works on our lovely diesel engines. Where ever air goes, that is where the water goes, it Steam cleans every part!

Let us all know how well that engine runs. We are all dying to know that yet another Mercedes Lives On Forever!!!!


psfred - I think you have the ticket to the engine running. Even sounds logical
