1981 Mercedes 240D Oil Test results
I wasen't sure about the quality of my engine as I have knocks at the initial startup so I had a $30 oil test done after 5000KM.
I have 300,000+KM on the engine and I ruled out the knocking to be the injectors which I plan to replace soon. I'm so happy with these results, I will continue on restoring the car. If the engine had shown wear or coolant etc, I may have decided to sell. I recommend a oil test/analysis and a compression test for anyone who seriously wants to know the quality and durability of the engine. With the cars starting to push 30-35years old, its very difficult to tell if previous owners have neglected anything. Coolant flush's and regular diesel rated oil changes are key on these vehicles.
