Thanks Gator,
Rotella, the stuff that you put in a diesel correct? With thicker oil it will put up more pressure all the way. Would you also drive Rotella in winter?

How grand are chances that the plastic guide break off?
I had these parts changed on a W109 that was 45 year old.... this car is new with 24 years in comparison.... who knows.
