Not sure how or where to get your Mercedes-Benz 240D’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than 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 1983 Mercedes-Benz 240D’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your 240D may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Mercedes-Benz recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mercedes-Benz 240D. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
