Question about M276 cylinder scoring
I have a 2015 GL450 I bought new. It is approaching 70 thousand miles, and so far trouble free. Is the scoring problem common to the V8s also happing to the V6 engines?
if so, is it possible to have iron cylinder liners installed in these blocks? Probably note worth doing to a ten year old car worth maybe $15K, but just curious.
Thanks
Gil

We believe it might be caused by low oil pressure.
