Mercedes-Benz: E240 engine longeviety

Mass air flow sensors are notorious. Otherwise, they are very good motors.
CHANGE THE OIL often....do NOT follow the FSS flexible service system.
Change the oil at least every 5,000 miles. USE SYNTHETIC!

How many miles before the balancer needs changing? Was thinking of changing

Not such a big issue on the 240, its more of a problem on the american cars,
320's.

But just inspect it on idle, if it wobbles its gotta go... if you see
cracks, its gotta go.
