I have the same issue with the 450SL. Running M1 20-50 (or 15-50). Thick when cold, no pressure at hot idle, but it goes back up on throttle. Putting it in neutral ups pressure from near 0 to almost 0.75 bar. I used some Motor Honey to see if that did any good. Not really. Short duration

It has a mechanical gauge that is not that accurate. Check it with a good, accurate Gauge. Stewart Warner used to be the reliable one. This car has a manual gauge, but I suppose a manual gauge can fail also. Sent from my iPhone On Mar 30, 2014, at 5:03 PM, Dan Penoff d...@penoff.com

I have not been able to get the lower lens out. The back of the blinker comes off easy. You might be able to dremel tool the tabs holding it in and somehow mate it to the good chrome. Try removing the blinker lens from the good chrome. See how that works and you might be able to learn about
