[jay16valve]

To all MB 2.3-16valve owner, Bago lang po ako dito, papatulong sana ako ano ba magandang mga oils para sa engine, differential at transmission para sa 2.3-16valve 190E ko. Bagong bili ko kasi 2nd hand. Gusto ko palitan lahat ng fluids. First time ako mag ka mercedes, from nueva ecija pa ako. Balak ko sana dalin sa manila para mapalitan lahat ng oils, air filter at fuel filter. Anong shop ma recommend nyo? Mahal ba sa CATS sabi nila dun daw casa ng benz. Ano ba mga brand ma recommend nyo para sa oils and filter baka dyan na lang ako bumili sa manila at kami na lang mag palit. Salamat sa inyo.

Hi Jay and [SIZE="4"]WELCOME!!![/SIZE]

I would suggest Mobil1 20W-50 or Lubro Moly 5W-40. From experience and based on availability here, I use 10w-50 or 15w-50 for cars with high performance engines --- like your 2.3-16.

Since you are still coming from far north, I would suggest a friend's shop that are really good in MBs. Shop's name is:

MIKE AND THE MECHANICS
# 71 Kamuning Road, Quezon City (between 11th Jamboree and Sct. Ybardolaza / Judge Jimenez)
(02) 9273465

Look for Mike Lugtu.

Hi jay, regarding change oil filter and fuel filter, kaya ba ng DIY yan or it should be a benz specialist ang gumawa? same lang ba ang oil and fuel filter nyan sa regular MB190e 2.3 ?

TIA

Try Royal Dragon at Linaw st. Quezon City. 7426893 look for Edra.
RLC Chuatoco 4116390 look for Mang Bert.
Lemforder is the OEM brakepads for MB although you can use Bendix, FB Biltiens. Kaya ng DIY ang change oil and filters. Pag gear oils chage sa gas station or any indie MB shops pede rin. If you still have the owners manual nandun an specs on how much oil you need and their viscosity rating.

Susme naman, bakit ka pa pupunta pa sa Maynila para lang palitan ang fluids ng MB 190 mo? Di naman siguro masyadong backward sa lugar nyo para di magawa ito locally. Madali lang magpalit ng langis at filter ng oil, kasama na rin dito ang magpalit ng water coolant, at saka transmission oil. Ang advise ko lang na medyo dalhin mo sa gumagawa ng MB talaga ay ang tune-up, valve adjustments, at saka anything to do with engine adjustments...Brakes, alignment, etc. puwede mo na lang dalhin sa local shops..Yung AC medyo mahirap ding gawin ng di sanay sa MB kasi maraming mga sensors na di pamilyar sa basta AC Technicians..
