discussion on oil and oil filters for the c43
anyone ever try the new extended life mobil 1 brands? my understanding is that our beautiful cars take 0-40w oil.
wonder if it would be beneficial to get the 0-40w extended life ?
there is also something called new life? not sure what that is.
last question...what is the general thought on mobil 1 filters vs oem mb filters? like? dislike? i know frams are horrible.
as awlays...you guys are AWESOME. such a beautiful day in new york today.

The M113 doesn't use a traditional metal filter, just inserts. That limits the selection somewhat. I've taken to changing my oil at 5000km intervals, and the filter only every other oil change. I believe you can get fleece or paper filter inserts, the price difference is marginal. Does MarcusF not have any discussion on his site about filters and such?
