92 SL1 Battery draw in cold weather by
Erik
I'm in Canada (Ottawa) and in the winter I'm having quite a bit of problems with
the battery. The alternator is pretty new so this is not the problem. I had the
battery checked few days ago and at the store they said that it was ok (but I
still think it might be the cause).
The battery goes...

20W-50 in SL1? by
Joe
1990's SL1's are notorious for eating oil due to sticking rings... Anyone
ever tried running 20W-50?
It's 13 degrees outside, I have 20W-50 in the car and it seems to start just
fine except for a 2-3 second "valve tap" as the think oil tries to migrate.
Think I'm risking a starter, oil pump,...

acted like it was out of fuel and I suspected someone had siphoned the tank.

out of #4 well in about a week or so there is oil on the well wall and

great deal of assistance from folks on this list. I just had a question
about the bolts. On each side there were two pairs, one 14mm and one

In the fall, after a major rainstorm, my car wouldn't start. The engine
would crank, turn over, and then die. After about a day of attempting,
I had it towed and when the car was let down at the service station, it
suddenly worked. The service station ran it for codes and couldn't
figure anything...

96 SL2 SES (0133 and 0304) by
Simon
I used an OBDII reader to read out the code from my 96 SL2(90K
mileages). It is 0133 (CO2 Sensor) and 0304 (4th Cylinder Misfire).
Are these serious issue? If it only affects engine performance, I don't
want to spend any extra effort on this car.
Thx.

98 SL2 Automatic Transmission Hesitates Shifting Into Reverse by
Richard Davies
When the transmission is hot, there is a 1 to 2 second pause when shifting
from Park into Reverse. If I'm not thinking and step on the gas, the engine
revs and the shift results in quite a jolt which I'm sure is not good for
the transmission. If you just give it a little time, the shift occurs...
