Less acute than S55 due to closed-deck block. Still M-engine: oil analysis every 10k km, 5-6k km oil changes max.
M-car discipline required. If used for spirited Greek road driving: oil analysis schedule mandatory.
Intake carbon buildup (DI)
▸Rough idle at cold, power loss at specific RPM
High-output DI engine. More carbon potential than B48.
Caught at M-car service intervals. Budget at 60k km service.
