[W126 Coupe] Maintenance question

[Jay Hirsch]

Seems your getting a lube  from  the dealer all for the same price

The only difference between any oils, anti-freeze. etc. from dealer/ 
MB and outside source is the container and the dye that  is put in  
for the MB package.
Same for tranny gasket and filter.
keep cruisin
