[MBZ] '82 300 CD excessive oil usage-update

2006-08-25 Thread Luther Gulseth
Remember this one? 1qt oil burned every 250-300 miles. Compression is all 320-380, injectors are clean and good spray. Runs like a scared cat (right Kaleb?). Very minimal drops of oil (2-5 during 9 hours at work) under car each day and no spray on the bottom or back of the car like my SD.
