My dad really enjoyed the car and I'm sure I will also for a few years. It's such a gorgeous car, not to mention the massaging seats and great safety features I'll probably get it. Thanks Wolf I appreciate your time to reply. Things happen, but just because they happen doesn't mean it's common. I have a 2011 and so far no problems with my transfer case and I'm over 100k. You'd have to get the transmission code from the decoded vin to make sure. The 2012+ had the M276 engine and I believe they had the improved 7g tronic plus transmission. If you search the old threads, most of the transfer case problems affected the 2010-2011 models. The 2010-2011 had the M272 engine with the 7g tronic transmission. Well I was going to respond to you there, but I mind as well do it here. I'd love to have my dad's car but I don't need a pain either. No response in MB forum, with a bunch of reading it appears they have a real problem with the 4matics, even after the changes they made in 2014. I hope it's not in the questionable transfer case lot. I will be going to father's home today and I will get his VIN #. Same with the night view assist, very rare. That would be a real unicorn because you hardly ever see the Bang & Olufsen sound system, that alone was a $6400 option. But if it has everything, then it would have the driver assistance package, P2 package, rear entertainment package, heated steering wheel, parktronic, 115 volt outlet, side blinds, comfort box, panorama roof, night view assist, folding rear seats, heated and cooled seats, Bang & Olufsen sound system, real leather, multi contour seats, heated rear seats etc. The designo packages were very rare, in shopping around and running various vin's through the decoder, I've hardly ever seen one for sale.

You can pick up a bottle at any of these stores.It's a 2013 e350 4matic. We’re not claiming that it’s magic or that it will always solve all your problems, but it’s so easy and inexpensive that it’s worth giving it a try. It’s definitely a money-saver compared to adding oil between changes, and if it staves off an engine overhaul or a new catalytic converter, it could save you hundreds or thousands of dollars. It costs just a few dollars, and since it takes the place of about a half-quart of motor oil, it almost pays for itself right off the bat. All you have to do is include one bottle with each oil change. It’s designed to reduce oil burning (and the smoke that it sometimes causes) without having to make any changes to the engine itself. Motor Honey is an oil treatment that you add to your car’s regular motor oil. Instead of changing the parts inside your engine to make them more compatible with the oil, you can change the oil so that it is more compatible with the existing parts. However, there is an easier option you can try. That’s expensive, and it takes your car out of commission for a while (you can’t drive it very far without an engine). That’s because the other causes – bad piston rings, cylinder walls, and valve seals – are not easy to fix at all, and often amount to an engine overhaul. Of the three main causes of oil burning, a bad PCV valve is the simplest one to fix. It’s not good for the environment, and not good for your pocketbook. The smoke and soot can also lower engine power and MPGs, while increasing your exhaust emissions. Catalytic converters contain precious metals such as platinum, and are therefore not cheap. Remember the part about the catalytic converter having to deal with the smoke from burning oil? That smoke can eventually damage the catalytic converter and require it to be replaced. If the oil gets too low, it doesn’t provide that essential protection.Įven if you were to continually add oil to keep it from getting low, burning oil can still be a big problem. Oil is important it’s what keeps your engine from destroying itself as metal rubs against metal several dozen times per second. It’s not a problem you should ignore, either. If you’re burning so much oil that the level gets low between oil changes, that’s not “normal” in a good sense. It’s not “normal” as in “your car is designed to do that.” In fact, it’s the opposite: your car is designed to prevent oil from burning, or at least not burn enough to really notice. But it’s still a problem, even if it’s common. If by “normal” you mean “common,” then yes, burning engine oil is a pretty common problem, especially in older cars. Whether they’re right or not depends on your definition of “normal.” You’ll sometimes hear people say that it’s normal for an engine to burn oil.
