the minimum called for in t he owners manual at idle is i believe about .5 bar. so i hope you can get there after cleaning everything with new oil. folks who dont change the oil really steam me.

i have looked at cars before that had the oil below the dipstick and had knocking bearings and the seller is saying that the oil is changed religeously etc. i have no patience for liars. i have stopped at convenience stores on a test drive before and added oil in pity for the poor benz. one car i drove around the block and came right back since it was clearly knocking and i didnt want to blow a rod on the test drive.

once i drove a four wheel drive (ford i think) and when i went around a corner the axle with the wheel attached came out o f the rear axle tube about 2'. i parked it and walked back tothe sellers house.

idiots!
