How often should you get an oil change?

• Follow the vehicle’s onboard maintenance indicator for the most accurate interval; many modern Mercedes vehicles use condition‑based monitoring rather than a fixed mileage schedule.
• Typical guidance for normal driving is up to 10,000–12,000 miles or annually, but under severe conditions (frequent short trips, heavy city traffic, high performance driving) more frequent service—every 5,000–7,500 miles—may be recommended.
• Our technicians inspect systems and reset service indicators properly so your records remain accurate and your warranty remains intact.
• Regular oil changes at a certified dealership protect drivetrain components and usually reduce overall ownership costs compared with deferred or incorrect service.
