A Mars Red 05 C230? That's one of the best looking (affordable) Benz cars out there. Looks better than the W204.

137K Miles and my only big failure ( they rattle around and make a racket) was the catalytic converters @ 78k. lucky that it happened then because Federal mandated warranty ends at 80K. Dealer installed a whole new exhaust.

Now my climate control is broken but it is not a show stopper and I am working on the flap motors!

I currently do all the maintenance using MB brake fluid, antifreeze, and EBC brake parts. I am thinking of doing a partial tranny fluid change soon.

Just got my 2002 c240 last month (42,000miles)...to date it has 44,000 miles on it.

When I got it, I did the following:
1. Changed the oil to AMS 5w-30
2. Front brake job, Changed rotors to power slot slotted and Hawk pads.
3. Air filter element replacement (OEM)

I've lined up the following (preventive maintenance)
For Next month:
1. Transmission fluid and filter replacement
2. Spark plug.

Once done with all the preventive maintenence, will upgade the exterior to the c55 look (except the quad muffl), headlights, bumpers, rims, and eisemann race exhaust..

Thats it.

lol that was a long drive but i wanted to see how good of mileage i could get.

Oct 2009 - 114k miles, used daily to commute and haul kids. Lots of little headaches but overall still a great car. It is starting to consume oil. No leaks are visible and no smoke or other obvious signs. Ideas? Possible valve cover gasket, head gasket, etc...??

Alan, these cars just tend to do that when they get older. My CLK did it after a while, and so did our family's old E (1986- our first benz). As long as it isn't a ridiculous amount, you should be fine.

Mercedes says 1qt for 1000miles is ok. On the m272 engine they say .8 liters to 1000 km is ok. I don't believe this BS.

I did some calculation for the M272 and by what they are saying (0.8l to 1000km is fine-0.85qt to 621miles is fine) this means after the 13,000 service interval I will put in 17 qts (12,500 miles I will exactly put 17 qts and this is ok for Mercedes?)

Alan how much oil does it consume? How many qts did you add at how many miles?

That is such BS.

bdgdl08 · 10-11-2009, 07:16 PM

ok, what a meant was that I would put in a single quart, maybe 2 on rare occasions, for every service interval. And that was with 232,000+ miles.
