OK, thanks for the suggestions, I never thought of that.
The under carriage is clean too.
I forgot to bring my camera while it was on a lift
The only thing missing is the front cover under the engine, probably when the po had an oil change at Firestone ()
first thing I did was put some synthetic 5W40 in it (MB 229.5)
