300E oil change help
Hello all:
My wife's 92 300-E stright 6 cylinder W124-030 has been driven a bit with out an oil and filter change milage is 39,000..
This afternoon I used a extractor to extract the engine oil I had been using RED Line multi grade. I went to tight in stead of loosen the oil filter , till I realized what I was doing and reversed the the proper left turn to loosen the old filter . I did not know but when I tighten the old filter I must of caused
The old oil filter rubber seal out with out me knowing.
The short end of the story is I caught the mistake after running the engine to rewarm up and check the oil level, nice puddle on the ground gave me a hint something is wrong.
I looked down and saw the extra seal and removed the new oil filter and extracted the seal.Then put back thee new oil filter I use KNECHT OC 110 and refilled to proper level. I am using AMS OIL 0/W30
My question is my oil preasure drops to just a little below 2 when at idel and then the needle swing back up to the top when the car is in motion. Did I do any damage, I caught the problem before road testing no oil leaks after? weather was hot 80 degrees F.
What is the feeling on AMS oil synthic?
Thank You
Bob Geco
