Now you're making me paranoid -- For some reason I'm 'blanking' out on what the 'norm' has been for my other's.....

Could this be the beginning a 'engine temp' thread...?

OK - talk about paranoid...In reviewing the service records for this car, and looking at the original papers that came with the car, which by the way are really neat - there is a MB NA Dealer Directory dated 12-15-83, a fold out MB Technical Specification list for all 1984 models, the red hanging card w/ instructions for cruise, the blue hanging card w/ instructions for heat/AC operation, 1984 MB Roadside assitance program information, fold out instruction card for Becker Grand Prix radio, Hirschmann Antenna cleaning cloth - never opened...and know back to the paranoid thing I mentioned - There is a "Factory Approved Engine Oils, Coolant-Antifreeze and Brake Fluid" information sheet/card --- It actually lists Quaker State Motor Oil as being approved...The dealer used Quaker State oil in this car until March of 1995 @ 73,688 miles - then it shows using Mobil.

I'm sorry, but I have issue with Quaker State Motor Oil...could be because my father hated it...who knows. But it does sadden me to know that MB listed it as "approved".
