Can I use Dexron/Mercon ATF in a W124

It looked good as we drove by, didn't stop to check in any closer. Price seems
high but if the mileage were real...

You're also taking an even larger chance on the quality.
I was just browsing and the hunting category has some items that are
hilarious...

I don't remember where I left you guys on the Pisten Bully saga. I pulled the
oil plan on Jan 28. We sent it out to be welded which was done last Friday. The
guy said it was terrible to weld, lots of oil in the metal. It's probably a
strange aluminum alloy too which doesn't help. He baked it for
VW TDI engines are rated for 10,000mi OCI in the USA and 30,000 (or presumably
whatever that is in Km) in Europe. Mobil doesn't have a VW rated oil though.
Supposedly the difference is because VW figured no Americans will ever read the

The filler in the HF kit is kind of magic in it's ability to stick to a variety

I have one of the Harbor Freight solding iron ones. It works good, came with
filler rods and window screen.
I treat it like TIG welding. Glue the pieces back together first, then melt
some screen into it. The screen makes it strong. Then slobber filler over it
until it looks okay.

Got back to the Pisten Bully yesterday. Monday one of the other guys walked an
excavator to it clearing the road so we could drive in.
I drew the short straw and "got to" go underneath to pull the oil pan. I don't
consider myself a small guy but in the snowmobile community I guess I'm
