Best oil for 300SL 24v
Guys i have just purchased a 1991 300SL 24v and it sounds a little rough.The service book is showing its overdue a service.Can i use Mobil 1 in this car or will it be too thin and seep through the seals.The car has done 89K miles and has been regularly serviced all its life until the last one which is showing as 2 years ago.I am thinking i should change all fluids in the same process.Any recomendations ?.
