Problems with my 2005 SL65
Hi guys
I recently acquired a 2005 SL65, I drove it for a couple of days and notice poor performance (My 2006 E55 felt much faster and pulls harder) and very rough idle. Yesterday the check engine light went on, also message to add more engine oil.
I was wondering if owners out there have experienced this type of problems and shed some light into this manner.
Also can anyone PM me the TSB on the SL65 so I can learn more about them and address them to the SA.
Thank You
George

My 65 eats oil for lunch. According to MB, the engine may consume excessive amounts of oil compared to a standard engine. I think that thay are feeding me BS, and the engine has a defect. I have had to put oil in my engine on some occasions monthly.

I have never had to add oil in mine so something must be wrong. Bring it in and have them read the codes. Its under warranty still so take it in asap.
