al300sd

As i have previously stated i plan on doing my own maintenance on the 14 e550 aka "ESSO" . I have used the Liqui Moly Engine Flush on my diesel 300sd and my 88 560sl, Has any one used it on on a twin turbo? I would love to get some opinions, advice and or recommendations. My car is due for the 50k service now in 600miles or so it says but it seems to doping quickly (its said 1k 2weeks and and 150miles ago) not sure how it gauges the oil quality).

Thanks

As for the mileage/time dropping off quickly, it's not an exact measurement. The vehicle will monitor how the car is being driven (lots of idle time, lots of highway driving) and calculate a bunch of different factors into what is being displayed for the service due indicator.

For your engine flush stuff.. Are you having an issue that would require more than just regular maintenance and an oil change? If not, just stick with doing normal oil changes with the correct weight oil (5w/40, 0w/40, etc) and your engine will be just fine.

I believe MB doesn't do any type of oil life monitoring, just a straight 10k oil change interval.

And I would skip any oil flush. Not a fan of any snake oil and MB doesn't recommend any. All it does is lighten your wallet and lots of cars make it to high mileage without any kind of flush. If anything, I would think it would actually shorten the life of the engine as the flush isn't exactly a good lubricant.
