Rusty sends me the Hengst, you've got my lab results. I don't think Hengst or
Mann will let you down.

When I order filters from Rusty on the phone (and don't specify a brand)

Use two wrenches on the cooler lines. One to turn the nut and the other to hold
the fitting on the filter housing or especially radiator steady. Situate the
wrenches so that you can loosen the nut by squeezing the two wrenches together,
then you won't put any twisting action on the fitting that
Start soaking the nuts at the oil cooler
yesterday or the day before. If you can clean
off any external oil, and are brave, a short
application of flame wrench on the nuts maybe the
trick that is needed to prevent ruining the oil
cooler.
One other trick is to saw off the ferrules, and

That's what happened on my 82 SD as well. It was the lower fitting and it was
goobered up when I took it off.
I wrapped a few feet of teflon tape around it and it finally stopped leaking.

I used ATF/acetone on the fittings the day before I did mine, and the
fittings were undamaged. Counterholding the fittings as has been
describe is very important.
Getting the hard lines out is a bit tedious. I don't recall exactly
what worked.

The reason the oil cooler lines strip is that everyone over tightens
them. IIRC its only 18ftlb or less. Last time I did it I got it snug and

PS you will need to make one of the wrenches on the cooler lines
thinner. 22mm IIRC

Rick -
A couple of ideas. As has been mentioned the oil cooler line nuts screwing
onto the oil cooler fittings can sometimes seize and gall the threads on the
cooler fitting when you try to remove them. If the nut feels like it is
starting to gall stop and whip out your trusty Dremel tool with one
I don't have access to the OM for a few hours and would like to know the

Hi All -
I get a newsletter from a group called Machinery Lubrication -
http://www.machinerylubrication.com/Page/subscriptions IMO the title is a
little misleading – the topics for this month are:
a.. Beware of Blue Engine Smoke
b.. Comparing Gasoline and Diesel Engine Oils
c.. Why
Do you (or does anyone) do analysis on transmission fluid? Is there any
reason to think that would be beneficial?

Finally got an oil sample sent in for my '84 190D 2.2l.
Our buddy Larry thoughtfully included results from tests back to '06 on my '85
190D.
So quick result, the oil was fine after 9,700 miles. I'd changed it anyway
since it was the first fill of M1 (5w40) in this car. I'll sample this time at
