Excessive Oil Consumption 1981 300D
This is my third Merecedes, the first 2 had 200K+ at time of purchase and i ran the cars until the body was literally falling off on one and the suspension fell apart on the other. Both still had sound engines but everything else was worn out. My latest purchase has 162K miles, everything appears clean inside and out, body good shape, feels solid going down the road, etc. One problem : uses a quart of oil every 200 miles when going at interstate speeds. Considering the others engines had so many miles and still ran well i have a hard time giving up on this one.
