What can low oil do to my Mercedes-Benz 190D engine?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Mercedes-Benz 190D spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?
