What is Included in a Mercedes-Benz Oil Service?

When you drive a car as luxurious as a Mercedes-Benz down the Westport roads, you know that peak performance comes from proper care. That’s why so many Norwalk and Weston drivers head to Mercedes-Benz of Fairfield for a quality Mercedes-Benz oil service. But, just what is included in your appointment? A Mercedes-Benz oil replacement includes the following:

• For Model Years 2009 and Newer: Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement* as a component of Mercedes-Benz Service A** or Mercedes-Benz Service B**
• For Model Years 2008 and Older: Mercedes-Benz oil change (when not part of Service A/B)
• For All Models: Oil Filter Replacement* with genuine parts
• For All Models: Recycling of the old filter

Synthetic vs. Regular Oil

You may have seen debates over the pros and cons of synthetic and regular motor oil, but when it comes to Mercedes-Benz, synthetic is the only choice. Synthetic oil has been refined beyond the standards of conventional motor oil to create a longer lasting formula that optimizes performance. This creates a number of benefits:

• Lower friction that lessens wear and tear
• Cleaner burning process that reduces deposits
• Enhanced efficiency that boosts dependability

For 2009 models or newer, your Mercedes-Benz oil replacement is part of your Service A and Service B package – so be sure to stay up-to-date on your maintenance! For all other model years, we recommend checking your owner’s manual for more specific guidelines to suit your model. Generally speaking, a Mercedes-Benz oil replacement every 10,000 miles*** is a good rule of thumb.
