Years ago while on a car rally, I met a fellow with a Ferrari, whos engine was converted to run with electric oil pumps. He removed the oil cap (engine not running) so I could "look inside" as he toggled a switch on his dash. A hummmmmmm and the oil followed.

He looked at me and said......"For what this baby costs, I am not going to let it run dry fo even a second".

No idea of the value in the MB diesel.
