Re: [MBZ] '07 RE320 CDI

[Scott Ritchey via Mercedes]

Enough overfilling will froth the oil and the resulting air bubbles can make
hydraulic lifters "soft", which accelerates wear from excess movement as the
air bubbles compress.  Also, entrained air can reduce lubrication at
pressure-fed bearings (mains, cam, etc.).  Having said that, it's a matter
of how long it's run, with how much excess oil, and under what level of
stress.  So it's a crap shoot.  If the lifters sound OK I doubt there is
much damage.

I doubt it will make much difference unless it was routinely and consistently 
overfilled.   

By the way, I didn't know you had an R Class!  I moved my office a couple years 
ago and discovered an independent shop down the street.  I have gotten to know 
the guy and he knows what he is doing and done great work on every car I have 
brought him.   The other day when I stopped in he was a little frustrated.  I 
noticed he was working on an R Class diesel and he had almost the whole dash 
apart.  The car had a bad evaporator!   What a job.

Likely totaled the car.  I'll come pick it up for my usual price.

;)

Seriously, the car didn't tell you it was overfilled?  I doubt much damage
could be done, if any.  One would hope that the engineers anticipated such
an occurrence and if it was potentially damaging, included a system to
alert the driver of the condition.

I would take it back to the dealer. Probably did not hurt anything unless 
massively overfilled.

MB Stealer in Gboro?  I'd go to the nearest one and make it a point to get 
a note in the service records so if there was any engine damage you would 
be covered.


My understanding is that overfilling causes the oil to foam up by getting 
beat by the crank and conrods and can affect proper lubrication, but I'm 
not sure how it would be on your engine, might depend on how much it was 
overfilled.

My '05 Golf has a big warning by the filler that says that engine damage will 
result from overfilling. Doesn't say what will happen though...
