AS Barry says, the lube is cold.

Not on a MB, but on our 85 Mazda 626 we had before buying the first MB.

I replaced the original starter with one from the JY. It sometimes wouldn`t fully engage, and kick out. so I removed it, gave it a shot of WD-40, and it worked fine for the next few yrs until we sold it.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
