Whats the going rate for you guys that have gone to the dealer for an oil change? I am taking mine today and want to see if its worth it or if I should have a local shop do it. I always like to have the dealer do it just so I have recourse if anything ever happens plus legit service records.

Just a guess, it's gotta' be $125. The extra oil used and draining the turbos - wow, big job.

If the turbos are similar to the 911's, the procedure may call for it but I bet they don't really drain the turbos.

I pay like 90 at the dealership to change my oil for my E55.

Vic....have you posted pics of this beast yet?

I pay about 80 for my E55 but the 65 is another engine, including 12 quarts not 8 like the E55.

You know what? I havent yet because I really didnt take any good ones. Here is the best of what I have so far:

beautiful car VIC 55, do you have a tint on you 65, what is the percentage and is it the ceramic tint? I am tinting mine this week.

thanks for the pics..damn is that hot with the charcoal centers, can you post the specs as far as size? thanks...my CL is black and I think the grey centers would look hot.

I am running 20% all the way around, I am not sure about the ceramic part though.

As for the specs-here they are:

HRE 843R, 20x8.5 fronts and 20x10.5 rears. Its the newer charcoal finish which has a rough/matte feel to it.

Very nice...they look perfectly tucked with the ELM.

Wow, nice ride. Almost discrete too. The c215 is already a classic. I still don't know weather the c216 really is progress or not.

Best thing I like is the wide rear on this car.

Vic,
Do you have any problems driving the car that low, reason I ask is I just lowered mine and would like to go a little more, but am afraid of the tires hitting the body.

Thanks

It depends on the wheels and the offsets. My wheels are aggressive and when I have the module set all the way down, I rub ever so slightly in the rear on high speed undulations. What I do generally is set the inside height to setting #2 (1 light on the abc) and I dont rub at any speed. When I am just cruising city streets, I set it on the lowest (no lights). If had the stock CL65 wheels (245x40 and 275x35 in the 19 inch format) I would not rub at any speed on any setting. I asked HRE to make me the most aggressive offset and it they may have been 1 or 2mm to strong. Its ok cause I can shave down the inside of the fender ever so slightly if I want. Oh this rubbing is only on the driver's rear- no other issues.
