What is Included in a Mercedes-Benz Oil Service?

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

Are There Any Disadvantages of Synthetic Oil?

There are no real performance disadvantages of synthetic oil, but it’s important to note that synthetic oil does cost more than conventional oil products. However, this is one situation in which you absolutely get what you pay for. Not only is synthetic oil a more reliable product than conventional oil, but it also lasts longer in virtually all circumstances. In short, there’s a reason why Mercedes-Benz vehicles can go up to one year or 10,000 miles in between services.

With other brands that use conventional oil products, it’s generally recommended to schedule oil changes at least twice per year. Since you’ll pay for fresh oil, a new oil filter, and labor with each appointment, choosing synthetic oil isn’t just the right choice for your vehicle—it’s also the right choice for your wallet.

Is a Synthetic Oil Blend a Better Choice?

Some will tell you that synthetic oil blends offer performance advantages for less than the cost of genuine synthetic oil, but nothing performs as well as the full synthetic motor oil that your Mercedes-Benz requires. Although using some synthetic oil is better than using none, this isn’t the kind of trade-off that you’ll want to put to the test.
