If he has any hope whatsoever of saving that engine long term - stock up on filters - dino oil - and a couple of gallons of Marvel Mystery Oil.
I would run it with dino cut with with a gallon off Marvel Mystery oil for 3-4 hours - drain and replace - then run for 1 week cut with 2 qts Mystery - drain replace - then run 1 month with 1 qt Mystery - then only then would i go back to synthetic if the 3rd change showed fairly clean.
I throw one Stasbil Diesel Formula in the tank - and frankly he needs a new MB diesel fuel filter.
I have seen that engine recover from worse - but it needs proper medical attention now - or it's a time bomb..




Will his car be branded by MB for him ignoring the service and will his idiocy affect his warranty? In other words, what happens when this idiot trades the car in for another Mercedes? Can the car still be sold as a CPO?




That should give you some insight into the condition of the bearings.

"i have heard that all mercedes vehicles are filled with fluids for life?"
this is an actual customer statement i have heard with my own ears...




Just get the oil analysis and if all comes back, drive and enjoy. (Yes, it might have a little less power and a little more oil usage.)
