thanks man! I just got a 85 300sd everyone says the engine for the 85 is different then the other years do you happen to know what the differences are ?
@@truckcampertraveler7369 Ask me, I will tell you everything. It's the same OM617 engine like on older W126 and W123. W116's had it too. The differences on your 85 300sd engine is that the fuel injection pump is slightly different but it's still mechanical; The turbo may be a little different; It has more vacuum stuff than the older models; But overall engine is still the same
That pan just fits under there. Mine won’t fit under my w123.
Part of it is because I have 16in wheels on it

FCP EURO
What brand and weight of oil did you use?
Shell Rotella 15W40
How much oil dose it take ?
Around 8-9qts
