How often should you get an oil change?

• Follow the owner’s manual and the vehicle’s service indicator; many Mercedes-Benz diesel vehicles are serviced on condition-based intervals, often around every 10,000 miles or 12 months under normal driving.
• Severe driving—frequent short trips, heavy towing up to the vehicle’s 3,500 lb rating, or dusty conditions—may require more frequent changes (e.g., 5,000–7,500 miles).
• Regular inspections at the dealership let factory-trained technicians tailor intervals to your driving patterns and preserve emissions and turbocharger health.
• Using the proper oil and filter and adhering to dealer-recommended intervals reduces long-term ownership costs and helps protect warranty coverage.
