I was just wondering how long does the V6 last with regular oil changes? I have a 2000 c280 with 88,000 miles I bought in 2011 with 48,000 miles and I was just wondering when do the v6 usually go out miles wise?
Hi Cigarsmoke23 ,
Yes did most of the labor for the repairs,also did the front flex disc by the tranny, replaced both motor mounts ,tranny mount and front rotors and pads last couple of weekends . Next wheel bearings !
I see you wanna do your shocks , they are not that hard DIY,if you got a floor jack and some tools

Seen plenty of 112/113 motors hit past 200k on the clock. They will leak tons of oil (i.e. valve covers, timing cover and occasionally the oil filter housings) though. Other than that, remarkably solid motor.
