Oiled up plugs

[Peter Byers]

My 280SL when driven around the city oils the plugs up the miles it has covered seem to be only 86,000. *Did these early engines wear quicker? *Does any one lese get this problem?

[John Fenton]

Get a diesel - you won't get the problem!

Rev the nuts out of it now and again is the secret. *All this running around town is no good for this sort of car which is designed to be turning over at 5000 rpm plus. *From memory I think it is 6500 rpm max. *They are beautiful engines when you get them humming along at there designed revs.
