a few questions about turbo diesels...
what oil to use? Ive heard 15W40 is what I need. What oil filters to use? I read MAHLE ( ithink thats the spelling) is the OEM brand for mercedes and is high quality.
what other lubricants should I use (tranmission fluid, anti freeze, power steering) - mercedes brand or are other brands ok?
I was in the autozone today and saw these "fuel injection cleaners." I thought I remember these can be very bad for your diesel car?
Another question.
Before today it had been below 15 F for a few days. My engine was at max 85C. Today it jumped to like 55F, and I really felt my turbo kicking in. My engine was also around 90/95 C. Was the turbo "frozen" before? One thing that is kind of annoying now is from a stop light, my acceleration before was great. Now it is still good, but instead its more of an engine rev and then the turbo boost, its more delayed.
I heard something about aluminum parts in my car cracking above 85 C engine temp
