Very informative for the dealer to include the maintenance records.

The vehicle had four oil changes between 73954 miles and 127114 miles. The entry following this was at 155,338 miles.

Some of the oil was 10W-30 and all of it was dino oil.

I think I might pass.

See,
That is why I trust you guys so much. To the naked untrained eye, that would hae gone unnoticed. What a shame, cause otherwise the care looks its in pretty good shape, but after that discovery I begin to wonder if there is something else hidden???

Could they use a cheaper oil? Kendall is the crap Jiffy Lube places use. I don't think a MB dealer would use it. Well at least a good one.

But the oil might have been changed at other places and not written down. I would like to pull the valve cover and see how clean it is.
