Another thought about older MB's; 124's and 126's., I have an 84 300CD and
a '87 300SDL, with fairly high mileage on both. Since I have owned them I
have not driven them hard at all, barely ever hitting 75mph. Would it be
bad for the engines to just start driving them faster and harder?? Should
there be a "breakin" period, say driving a little faster gradually? Just
wanting to do the best for these beauties.

Indeed - you will learn if there is abnormal wear in the engine, and get a
feel for how much you could extend the change interval. My analysis results
are coming back well within normal limits with M1 running at least 12,000
miles on all the engines. Granted, I'm not running an OM61x engine anymore

Does oil analysis provide any benefit to those who change it every 3-4K
miles? I use M1 5W40 Turbo Diesel Truck on my 240D and change it every
4K miles. I guess an oil analysis would tell me if I can extend that
interval?
Yup, sure would. You might be able to extend your oil change interval and
save money.
