Thanks, Gilly. The stuff I bought did not appear to be the synthetic stuff. It was in a blue bottle with a white top, and as I recall was about $5 a bottle -- unlike the $20 they wanted to charge...

Type of ATF for '96 W210 4-speed auto?

A few years ago, I changed the ATF and filter in my '96 E320 by removing the pan and replacing the filter and gasket. That allowed me to replace about 3.5 quarts of ATF, for which I used Mercedes...

K & N air filters vs. OEM?

Views: 6,371

Posted By jdoyle

Whether or not you needed an air filter probably

has a lot to do with it, too. If your air filter was terribly dirty, anything would be an improvement. It would be interesting to do a back-to-back test with a brand new OEM filter, but I doubt...

With that kind of mileage, sounds like the engine's warm most of the time. I'd be more inclined to use synthetic, change the filter and stretch the interval to 5 or 6K. Others on this board will...

Are you sure you don't want to change the filter? That doesn't seem to make any sense to me. The filter is easy to change and not particularly expensive. Why would you choose not to change it?

E320 Fuel Filter

Thanks for all the posts. Based upon everyone's experience, I'm leaning toward leaving it in at least until 90 K. Sounds very unlikely that it's contaminated, since it's always had good clean fuel...
