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 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

What’s the Difference Between 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. The differences between synthetic oil vs. regular oil result in a number of noticeable benefits, including but not limited to:

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

How Often Do I Need a Mercedes-Benz Oil Replacement?

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.
