And buy several filters -- likely you will shake all sorts of crud loose and they will plug several times until you get it all out. Watch for a plugging tank screed, too -- quite likely if there is algae in there. Once it's dead, it will plug the screen as it peels of the tank bottom.

It should start in either P or D - if the neutral start switch is working properly. It sounds like poor connections somewhere - at the battery, starter or ground. Could always be a smaller wire somewhere in the starting circuit making partial contact. Start with the obvious - battery

The Mobil 1 made a great improvement in my 300D 2.5. The dealer put it in when I had a factory refurbished transmission installed. They recommended it. It shifts much better when cold. John Peterson 1991 300D 2.5 81k LarryT wrote: I plan to use Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF but need to confirm
