The letter that I have dated September, 2002, refers to a class action lawsuit over oil sludge problems with early ML's due to the use of conventional oil AKA dino oil. It states that they will cover the vehicle up to ten years from the date of first puchase or 150,000 miles in the unlikely event any future oil sludging or related engine damage in your vehicle from the earlier use of conventional, approved motor oil (API SH or SJ).
