Photo of the hair line crack in the console.
Photo of the piece of wood bracket that seals the console in place.
Wood bracket has actually broken off from the console but the console can be re-glued back on.

Almost twelve months since I purchased the 300SE.
June 2012 300SE had travelled 180,000kms.
Last weekend the 300SE clicked over to 190,000kms.
190,000kms not bad a 24 year old car.
Next milestone is 200,000kms.
300SE Mercedes love that car!

I believe changing the oil every 5,000kms.
Question is which one of the following oil viscosity's should I use?
20W60 HRP 30
10W40
15W40 Everyday Driver
15W60
Should I use Mineral or Synthetic oil?
Oil change for the 300SE requires 6ltrs and a new oil filter.
Going to use Penrite oil...
