Hey Everyone,

I got some great help on replacing the turbo for my 1993 300D 2.5. As a result of the failed turbo I had on before, all the oil from the vehicle basically traveled through the exhaust into all the places it shouldn't have.

What is the best way to get all the oil out of the exhaust?

Do I have to before I put in the the new turbo?

Should I just run the car and let it burn out through the exhaust and wait for the smoke to clear?

Just drive it and it will eventually burn out.
Tell the neighbors you have a new Mosquito Fogger.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

Ha! Yeah that is what I figured

Charlie's fogger method is easy!

100+ mile highway run got most of it out. Back bumper and trunk were dripping black oil.

I don't know what the oil did to the cat converter, but the rest of the exhaust should benefit. You may have added years to the life of your muffler etc.
