• For high-performance or severe driving (frequent short trips, towing, extreme temperatures, spirited driving), more frequent changes—around every 5,000 miles—are recommended.
• Dealer service teams monitor oil condition and vehicle systems, advising a schedule tailored to how you drive to optimize engine life and performance.
• Using dealer-recommended intervals and fluids helps preserve warranty coverage and long-term reliability.

How much oil does an 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class need?

• The 2.0L turbo inline engine typically requires approximately 5.5 to 6.5 liters of oil when changing oil and filter; exact capacity varies by engine configuration and should be confirmed by the service advisor.
• Park Place Motorcars Arlington measures and fills to the precise factory specification and performs proper system checks and resets.
