The engine cleaning is most effective with max power and max RPM. So what I would do with the same hill is slow down a bit as approaching, downshift into 3rd as it gets steep and floor it. The goal being requiring maximum power at an RPM just under where the governer starts to limit the fuel. Not that doing it your way doesn't help, it's just the engine is well short of the RPM limit. if you stay in 4th. -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
