How often should you get an oil change?

• Manufacturer guidance: many Mercedes-Benz models with synthetic oil recommend roughly every 10,000 miles or once a year under normal driving conditions; check your owner’s manual and on-board service indicator for the exact schedule for your vehicle.

• Common viscosities: 0W-40 or 5W-40 synthetic oils are commonly used depending on climate and MB spec requirements; the exact specification is in your owner’s manual.
• OEM compliance: our service team uses oils that meet Mercedes-Benz standards to protect engine performance, emissions systems, and warranty coverage.
