Engine block
Hello Members
I had the possibility to visit the engine manufacturing for SLR at Affalterbach in the first floor ( where SLR and SL65 are built). The block of the SLR is defenetely different than a SL55 block.
As well the system of lubrification (wet sump) is different of the SLR engine. Not to mention all the rest.
Unfortunately it is not allowed to take pictures over there - but if you ever had the possibility to go there ( to pick up your new car) it is a MUST to see this.
Kind regards from France

Nah I think your talking about ARAL. Don't know if its an advertising thing or if they are good lubricants, but on the Brabus sight they repetitively mention their use of ARAL stuff. Never heard it from Mercedes or AMG.
