1985 Mercedes-Benz 300SD Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Mercedes-Benz 300SD engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts.

That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Mercedes-Benz 300SD oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. 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? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
