1989 560SEL
Woah!! Wtf?
I own a 1989 560SEL, now its a 5.6L (obviously) but the engine.. it is a V8 correct?.. I went on autotrader and every other website all of them say this car is a V8.. i found out today under the hood there is a sticker that says all this crap AND says its a V6... im so confused...

things with and without wheels
One way to be sure what you have is to count the number of spark plugs or the number of exhaust ports .

That may be a "generic" EPA sticker applicable to a wide-array of MB automobiles. That car should be a V-8, as Robert says, count plugs and exhaust ports.
