300D oil concerns
NORMAL
1bar=3D14psi jittery pointer a idle is the norm also as long as it goes to 3 when your rolling your fine. change every 3,000 miles and you will be ok. keep an INLINE fuel filter in your glove box. TRUST ME ON THIS ONE!

Group: alt.auto.mercedes Date: Tue, Nov 4, 2003, 2:14am (EST+5) From: snipped-for-privacy@worldnet.att.net (Barye=A0Phillips) Couple things about oil in my recently acquired '83 300D: Seems to get black pretty quick (1K miles?), and my pressure is a little erratic--good at relatively high engine speeds, down around '1' at idle (1 what, by the way?). Lately it seems even lower at slow speeds, but the oil level seems okay. Do oil pumps give out? Could the sensor/gauge be unreliable? Thanks in advance, Barye Phillips
the case, minus a few cans!
