Take it to a, gasp!! dealer close by and have them do a basic oil change etc. Can't cost an arm and a leg and should give you a bit of piece of mind to start out.

The seller is meeting me at the airport. He will have title in hand and I will have check to present to him. Here's is my question. Where is the fuel filter on a M103? Is it as easy to change as on the diesels - i.e. spin on? The spark plugs are probably fairly accessible given the fact that it is a straight six. Any weird maintenance quirks I need to know about the M103 or the 126? Things like coolant flushes, power steering fluid changes, transmission fluid changes, and brakes will be fairly standard, so I won't have to (get to) learn anything new about that. I just thought about it, I have no idea where the oil filter is? Is it as much of a pain as on the 123/124 diesels? Any thoughts would be great? Donald H.
