Properly inflated tires is the easiest way to improve fuel economy. The right tire pressure is NOT on the side of your tire btw
Sure you can take it in for a $19 lube, but are you OK with a stripped oil pan and cheap parts in return?

Follow the steps in this video to see how to fix minor coolant (antifreeze) leaks in your 1989 Mercedes-Benz 190E. Leaking coolant / antifreeze is one of the more common types of leaking fluid from 190E engines. Engine coolant (which is also called antifreeze or anti-freeze) moves through the inside of your 190E engine and keeps it from overheating. Coolant / antifreeze can leak from the reservoir, radiator or any hose, in 1989 190E with the 2.6 liter engine. However, a coolant leak (aka an antifreeze leak) is most likely to occur where the hoses connect to the engine or radiator. Otherwise, your 190E may have a radiator leak. This video shows you where the coolant reservoir, hoses and connections on your 1989 190E 2.6 are located and the steps needed to fix minor leaks.
A few things to note about coolant is that it is sweet tasting and highly toxic, so it can end up in the dog's stomach pretty quickly. If you ignore a small coolant leak long enough, you will run out of coolant, which leads to an overheated engine and other serious, but highly avoidable, problems. An anti-freeze leak can cause the temp sensor to record high engine temperatures in a 1989 Mercedes-Benz 190E. Always protect yourself with safety glasses and gloves when working with the coolant on your 190E.
