How often should you get an oil change?

• Follow the owners manual and the vehicles monitoring system; typical guidance for modern Mercedes-Benz V8s is every 7,500 miles or 12 months under normal driving conditions.
• Under severe conditions (frequent short trips, track use, heavy towing) consider service every 5,000 miles to protect high-performance components.
• Regular intervals preserve engine health, maintain performance, and reduce the likelihood of costly repairs that can arise from neglected oil changes.
