Mercedes-Benz recommends having your 1989 Mercedes-Benz 260E’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 260E in the above table. Your 260E 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 notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Mercedes-Benz recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mercedes-Benz 260E. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

1989 Mercedes-Benz 260E Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mercedes-Benz 260E? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your 260E’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • 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 buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does Mercedes-Benz 260E oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Mercedes-Benz 260E oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Mercedes-Benz 260E? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Mercedes-Benz 260E oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Do I need to replace my 260E’s oil filter when changing my oil? It's recommended that you replace your Mercedes-Benz 260E oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
