For the first 80,000 miles it used conventional oil and went about 10,000 - 12,000 miles between changes before it was switched over to Mobil 1. The engine has a distinctive noise at slow speeds but is quiet otherwise. It has a lot of power (more than the C280 in my opinion). A very solid, reliable car.

What'd it cost to unseize or replace the turbo?
