I had an old acquaintance who was a salesman for a very large auto dealer here and he was telling me one would be SHOCKED at how many cars they'd take on a trade that had 30K, 50K miles that never had the oil changed. It's crazy.

The 15k mile oil change seems to have worked good (my M62 did the first 100k with that interval and BMW oil).
The 2nd 100k miles has been 60% SII (9k miles, Mobil 1 0w-40 LL-01 spec). Still running good with over 200k (and OE chain guides). On topic of the post above.....Prestige MB sold an E class to a young female lawyer in NJ (late '80s), dealer sent her oil change notices every 6 months, never saw the car for over 4 years. One day it came in on a flatbed with over 40k miles (car "stopped" working, her words). Upon inspection, the motor was locked solid (oil in pan was TAR!!!). This MORON lawyer NEVER changed the oil, wanted the motor replaced by MB no charge, and SUED the dealer when they refused!!!

progress
So here is the latest on moving forward with engine replacement. Found another short block that is in good shape. Went in my wagon and picked it up. Sundays activity was removing the existing engine. Not too difficult, just very time consuming. And, in the one picture you can see I have somehow aquired 3 M62 engines!

Wow. You have so much of that front end disassembled why not just pull the rest of the front clip off and the engine could come right out the front? I believe the rad support and front end are all bolted in on these and not riveted...
Nice work either way. Not many here have pulled their engines... and most hope to never have to. I know I certainly haven't, and hope not to.
