better get it changed. the car is designed to run at 80 to 85. cooler is not good for it.
yeah, i am with the guys stating you need to run premium for correct performance. and it could be running hotter than indicated too. running too cool (like you did last winter) will allow buildups of carbon and such in places where it may cause harm.
your car could also be running wo a stat. and if so it will run cold in winter and hot in summer. never the way it should be. bad idea in a benz.
