Simple reason. You spend more on parts unlike non 4matic.

Shafts and absorbers precisely .

You are not fit to advise ...trust me...


How can you advise 5W for an engine that is 16yrs with probable over 100kilometers on it...

Do you know that the viscosity of 5W is designed for new cars


Oga go tell him the truth and it's from 10w...i drive that SUV

A 16 yrs old engine with high performance, and you recommended Mobil 1 or 5W....dude go back and review your post


You are giving him the wrong advice...thank lord that most people have corrected you and told you that there is high milage oil

You can't use 5W for a 6 yr old engine not to talk of 16yr old V6 ,he needs a high milage oil ...even 10W is not even appropriate unless he would be servicing every 3 months .... depending on the usage

Bros please keep this advice to yourself.I have a 20 year old car with over 240,000km and still run 5w40 full synthetic on it.Infact i know of a 25 year old car with 300,000km still on 5w30 full synthetic.Both engines are still pristine.

Pls I need help with this.

Scan that car and sort that check engine(obd11 will tell) .I can never drive with check engine it gets me paranoid.Now to the ESP .....a lot of things can cause that.If you worked on your legs just turning the steering to the left and right and centralising it clears that.If you car has any misalignment due to faulty thyrod ends or steering rack.Get a mechanic to inspect.If all is okay scan the car(not with obd11 o)it may be electrical.

Good morning All,

Please this is for those with daily users experience and not for mechanics or the I sabi Benz people.
Honest feedback please. I beg una

I am about buying any of 2007-2012 ml350. My mechanic advised I should go for it that i can use it for all round daily use.
I mean from house to office to meetings etc. (Monday to Sunday use)

That is why I want those who use their everyday to share their experience

1. Is it possible and how long have you been using yours?
2. Do you use it during raining season where most part of lagos are flooded?

You dey beg abi?U don drive your Corolla finish abi?.Anyways ML has a good ground clearance so no fear flood(i no talk say make you swim river o).For 54 months i dey crank my C class daily no issues.The ML is more solid so i expect better performance.The economy is good too so nothing to worry.The only thing be say if your AC do kpakam like this KAMO go use bill tear you(smiles).Enjoy your ride

Thank you for your responses
Car Talk / Re: Please How Long Can One Drive Before Changing Oil by nakoks(m): 8:43pm On May 03, 2021

Put back factory compressor.
The ECU no dey communicate well again with cooling unit(the sensor on it) so the car thinks there is a heating problem and blow high fan all because of the conversion the technician do,nothing else.
Na so benz dey ,no cutting corners!
Always replace parts with exactly what oyibo said,no imaginations abi construction.
And I also think that technician is crazy,nothing is wrong with your ECU.
If benz ECU get problem trust me,no be AC guy go tell you wink,
When e show you shege finish,you go know grin grin
You have spoken very well.Na this thing i dey always shout.........The engineers in Stuttgart are not stupid.

Good morning guys . I think it's time I get my first Benz. After research around my budget . I concluded on the 2012 (w204) c350 sport. With the updated interior and engine (m272,E35). I'd like to get advice on long term usage issues (oil consumption,knocking because of of our lack of premium fuel etc) if it has . Parts availablity. And if there was a better choice around this budget(maybe E?) . Moving from a 2010 Lexus GS350. Thank you .

You have done your research,very good please go ahead.Most of us here dey use rustbuckets � but those are the guys with the knowledge.My advice ,be careful with the quality of oil(dare to be different),regular use of premium fuel additives will do you good.

Parts are available though pricy

Good evening. pls I need your advice. I make use of Mercedes Benz w202 c240 V6 engine, 12 plugs.using the car since 2015, bought it from cotonour. had issues with the AC, changed the compressor to that of Peugeot, and the belt became longer. AC is working no issue, but I notice the oil is always going short, and brings out white smoke. the mechanic said I need to change the egine, because the plugs are always soaking oil. Could it be changing the AC compressor had caused the engine to go weak. Because I do the car service regularly. Thank you .

Reason why i never alter anything those guys in Stuttgart built.For petes sake,all these conversions are just being clever by half .

So I'm having misfire, hard start, and stalling.

Sometimes I smell fuel in the cabin while driving and there's black smoke from exhaust.

Car has been scanned and two cylinders were found misfiring. Plugs have been changed and still the same. Any leads?

Said car is a 2003 c200 w203

Service nozzles and change fuel pump.For the smell in the cabin (examine the tank cover underneath the back seat).

Reading this thread,i feel sorry for a lot of guys.Either out of ignorance or stinginess ;they end up throwing away hard earned money.Replace gear oil with quality fluids(they will say it is expensive but buying a new gear wont be expensive).Until people change their orientation about maintenance they will continue to lose money
