Forgive this oil thread, could old oil be OK???
I have the 98 C230 with the spooky 4 cyl engine that doesn't burn ANY oil. I am coming up to 10,000 miles since the last change with Mobil1 0W40 and I checked the level and it is still right at the max line. And the color is a brown amber color. On the one hand, some will condemn me for letting it go so long, and I have previously been an "always change at 3K" guy with other cars. But I feel like I will be draining out perfectly good oil. If it uses NONE and still looks good, and was Synthetic to begin with, is it possible I can go farther on it with a clear conscience? I am looking for scientific answers here, not religious. I admit it is a question I never thought I would have reason to ask, but I never imagined there was an engine like this.
Thanks, Mike
