Maintence Parts for 65' SL 230.

[MUR44Y]

Good Day,

I recently purchased a 1965 - 230 SL Manual. Looking to enjoy for the summer and begin and overhaul in the winter months.

WOuld like to give the car a service and struggling to buy the basics as not sure where to look... Was thinking I would buy plugs and points, oil, air and fuel filters to get me started - any advice would be appreciated if I need anything else?

I am based in Scotland, UK but presume can order from anywhere...

Thanks in advance,

Ian

Hello, Ian,

Welcome to the group.

Filters: These are Mann filter part #s. You can get them from German and Swedish or equivalents from Euro car Parts or local factors:

Air: C15 120
Oil: H720x
Fuel: P707

Plugs: A popular choice is NGK: BP6ES

To get the correct points, you will need the Bosch # on tag on the Distributor.

There are additional seals in the oil filter assembly which should be changed if not recently done.
Have a look at this topic in the wiki.

You need the three with MB part #s given in red

Hope this helps.

Happy fixing,
