Future sticky? I just bought a used Diesel Mercedes, now what?
Let's see you buy a used Mercedes Diesel.
What are the first few things ANYONE should do? What are the engine-specific things to do (example: OM61X valve adjustment)? What are gimmicks? What's great about a diesel purge? What kind of oil should I use? Etc....

I think the more important sticky should be what should you check BEFORE you buy the car.
