50k 2006 CLS 500 - suspected that the customer NEVER had an oil change...

Firechaser

Wow...what a moron. I worked at a dealership years back and seen this before, service dept would always void the warranty...understandably.

justinwrock

Wowza.


Saw this before on an ML430 a friends shop was servicing. Had horrible lifter tick, but still ran.

yum, what happens if i dont do the D service, the warning popped up about 30 days ago, but my next oil change schedule is in july, so i was going to wait till then to get the D service, or i may have to do it mid this month, anyways anyone know how much the D service costs and what it covers? every time i call the dealer, they tell me there is only an A and B service

Was the motor still functional?

If so let that be a testament to the durability of the M113 as well as a testament to the stupidity of the owner

$100 + 20 minutes and your oil is changed...

msheredy

That or they didn't use synthetics That oil still looks wet whereas I'd expect the oil to be cooked or dryer looking... at least that's how conventional oils behave.

Lemme guess, the owner was a woman?

Firechaser

Thats pretty much what I've seen on the Ford's that came into the dealership that never changed the oil, a gunked up mess.

My brother had a shop and every single time I saw this scenario it was because they used conventional oil with synthetic intervals.

Pretty amazing. Looks like a future science project !!

Benz-O-Rama

As long as she's a size 0-2 and rocks those Loub's Spiked/Studded Peep Toe Pump, like your girl CH......you deal with it.

Is it bad, that without Google, you know EXACTLY what I'm referring to?

bigben320e

I sort of agree...but even with level of hotness...there is still a limit.


That CLS owner is an idiot, someone please save that car from them.

fill the crankcase with Diesel and run it for a few minutes then open the oil pan, would look like a Denny's fry grill

Looks like a Chrysler 2.7 engine with regular oil changes and 30k miles

djrabbi

My dad's lexus was like this after the dealership says it was synthetic so we waited 10k but regular oil was used....

I've seen that so many times. I replaced a 5.7l hemi in a ram 3500 dually years ago and the guy said "didn't have time to change it". Well $7k later he wish he did. In my diesel I run synthetic with a centrifuge filter and go 25k-35k between oil changes and also send sample for lab analysis. Never had a problem.
