OIL SAE viscosity? -----Original Message----- From: Mercedes On Behalf Of Clay via Mercedes Sent: Wednesday, January 5, 2022 4:04 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Cc: Clay <clay.dread...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Mercedes is selling vaporware
Temps this week hover around 0*F in ANC. The carpet installers are using the garage to prep so the cars are out on the street. I tried to move one that had sat overnight to put it in the driveway. Maybe 30 hour cold soaked and that poor battery was nearly incapable of spinning it over. Like a no glow start on an OM615. Did get it lit off after a few tries and hooked it to the charger once the engine was up to temp and battery warmed. Tried to move it this morning and it was not happy. Maybe it wants a real winter battery.
