Great write up along with the pics and suggestions.

Thanks for the contribution.

** EDIT **

Let's make this a sticky...

 

Awesome write-up!! I love how helpful crossfire owners are. I have talked to alot Benz owners and they say they get all there info from our forum!

 

Thanks for the pics---I agree that this should be done!!!!! GREAT job, and CHEAP insurance!!!!

 

I don't own a SC, but you did a great write-up to know about. Thanks.

i second that! thanks for stepping up to the plate, 70gt6.

 

Thanks - glad to help.
Also - I think I should have started this in the "TSB & How to" section, if any mod would like to move it.

 

So for $13 for a quart of oil I can do both my cars??? Great write up.... thanks for taking the time.

 

Great job, and thanks for the writeup. I have 40,000+ on mine and will do this at next oil change, along with brake pads, brake fluid, and maybe diff fluid.

I feel a difference in a fresh oil change, do you notice anything like charger wine is smoother or less at speed? Just curious.

 

Easily.
I filled the 6oz oil can twice (not full) and did not need the complete second can full.
Plus I wasted some oil in the water bottle .
I would guess 1 can will do at least 4 -5 changes.

 

That is an absolutely fantastic service you have performed. This is
something I'm definitly going to have to do. With nearly 90K on the
clock, an no indication in the service records that this has ever been
done, I'm pretty sure the oil in my supercharger is shot. I will say,
though, that I've had no evidence (that I've noticed) of any problems
as of yet. Sounds like a project for this weekend.

Thanks for the tip on where to get the oil and the procedure!

Yup, just did mine as well. It really is a snap. The hardest part was not dropping the allen wrench and plug into my engine bay. Since I had so much extra oil I ran the engine and repeated to sort of give it a flush. Airplaneoils.com has a decent price, but the shipping almost doubles the order. If you keep an eye on ebay, cans show up there pretty frequently for quite a bit less. I got two cans of the stuff for 12 bucks plus 6.95 shipping. Also, just a fyi we can also use the mobil jet 254. It's the 3rd gen in the MJ oil line. There are also 4th gens out, but haven't gotten approvals yet. Some specs on MJ II:

Mobil Jet II is only 5 cSt @ 100C, which would make it a 0W-10 if there was such a grade. And it can handle sump temperatures of 400+F while being pumpable at -65F.

 

Yes shipping does add but most other places were selling for $20+ plus shipping so it still worked out pretty well.
Everything I found on ebay was "vintage" so I thought I would just go "fresh"
I am sure if you waited it would come up on ebay in something other than the 55 gallon drums I was finding (talk about a life-time supply)

 

I found it for $16.98 a quart - at the counter of my local airport FBO..

Thanks again for the post..

 

Good Deal. Glad to help.
Now if we can just get a mod to move this to the right section.........

 

Another good DIY illustration, that I could actually DIM!

 

Where did the pics for the DIY go, I tried to search the DIY section, but I could not find it. I happened to save this a while back and it was an awesome write up. Does any one have a link?

 

anyone know hwat happenen to the actual DIY part of this thread?????? I am about to change the oil and wanted to make sure I have the right steps. It seems pretty straight forward, but its hot outside and the easier and less time I have to take figuring something out would be greatful
