Should I check my Mercedes-Benz 190E motor oil level?

Can I change my Mercedes-Benz oil on my own?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. 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 190E exhaust smoke grayish or blue?

Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Mercedes-Benz 190E?

Not sure how or where to get your Mercedes-Benz 190E’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Mercedes-Benz recommends having your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your 190E may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Mercedes-Benz if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mercedes-Benz 190E. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
