Cool Some heads up

Hi. I acquired an E220 1994 sedan couple of days ago. The car is in good condition and has recently had a transmission service and engine service with all paperwork.

Ive never worked on MB cars. I have the intentions of doing the regular oil changes etc.. any heads up on what I should use/torque specs/brands and general words of advice when working on this car?

Thanks guys

Find a local shop that has some of the older MB diagnostic equipment--they are not easy to diagnose without some systems experience and the tools!!

I never do things from memory--therefore for the day to day maitenance items like fluids, lubrication and coolants----follow the manufacturers guidelines printed in the manual---if you posted the question because you do not have one--don't reply to this message spend time searching for a manual--you will be amazed at what you can learn with self study!!
