2006 mercedes e350 4 magic engine oil5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Mercedes uses a Flexible Service system that is aimed at providing you with information about when such services are required. Both the A and the B services also include synthetic motor oil replacements, so you should never worry about it. It might be because the oil levels are simply too low, or the car is due for an A or a B service. Modern-day Mercedes cars have a built-in system that will alert you when an oil change is required. Oil change FAQs How long does it take before an oil change is required? Some studies have also shown that the financial benefit of synthetic oils is guaranteed in the long run, as consistent regular oil usage in a modern-day Mercedes engine is likely to make the engine less efficient. Regular oils are cheaper than synthetic oils because the manufacturing process is a lot simpler, and it takes less time to produce regular oils. Synthetic oils are also a lot better in extreme conditions, as a synthetic oil mixture will always outperform a regular oil mixture. Synthetic oils enjoy substantially reduced deposit levels, and the friction associated with synthetic oil is decreased due to similar molecular sizes.įurthermore, synthetic oils are highly beneficial when it comes to clean engine operation due to the additives in the oils. Such manufacturing processes offer plenty of advantages compared to regular oils. Synthetic oils are distilled, purified, and refined even at the molecular level. The main advantage of synthetic oil compared to regular oil is the sheer level of refinement a synthetic oil has compared to regular oil. A synthetic oil mixture consists of base oils, powder additives, and a carrier oil. ![]() Synthetic oil is manufactured from a refined crude oil raw material. Many modern-day Mercedes models including the E350 use synthetic oil because this type of motor oil suits the manufacturer’s recommendations and requirements. ![]() For this reason, motor oil has to be replaced regularly. Motor oil is also used to remove many contaminants. Without proper motor oil, your engine will not work as intended by the manufacturer, which in the long term can cause problems and even degrade many parts of your engine. They can't afford to lose tanks, but they really can't afford to lose crews.The purpose of motor oil is to internally lubricate and cool your engine. Your argument does apply to the Israelis who build very expensive and very strong tanks because they don't have anywhere near the population of their unfriendly neighbors. The Germans had (other than in comparison with the T34 and, very late, the US Pershing) technically very good designs that were built in small numbers at great expense, too big, and with poor reliability and repairability (important if you don't have a lot of replacements). They ended up with a design (T34) with adequate reliability, simplicity of operation, ease of maintenance, low cost to produce and, almost as a side light, superior performance. They knew that they were fighting for their lives and the life expectancy of a tank in combat was not very long, so who cared if the thing would need a new engine in just 5,000 miles. In point of fact it was the Soviets who did not have the luxury of building over-complex tanks (and planes and you name it) and they did not. The Germans chose to make things more complex than they needed to be or should be because it is a bad German habit. The total Soviet population pre WWII was 170 million (and many of those absolutely did not want to be part of the USSR) and the Soviet Union was FAR less industrialized than Germany. There were 80 million Germans before WWII. These are the same guys whose grand-fathers designed the technologically excellent, but overly complex, overly expensive, overly unreliable, and overly unrepairable PzKw's of WWII that were soundly out-classed by Russian T-34's that were hideously primitive-looking in their execution, but were sound and simple in design, cheap, reliable, repairable, and plentiful. Must be something genetic with German engineers. If they wanted to put in the electronic readout and leave the blasted dip stick, that would be fine, but why did they have to get rid of the dip stick option.except for their service people.who know better than to trust an elecronic readout. And of course, we all know that the terms "German Automorive Electronics" and "Reliable Automotive Electronics" are not synonyms by any stretch. The are abandoning a perfectly simple, perfectly adequate, nearly bullet-proof way for the car owner to check his oil level, for a far more complex, far more error prone, far more expensive, electronic readout. that BMW is starting to inflict on people. ![]()
