Oil Change Q&A for Your 1989 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL

  • Should I check my Mercedes-Benz 300SEL motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Mercedes-Benz 300SEL engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Mercedes-Benz 300SEL oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz 300SEL exhaust smoke grayish 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 the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Mercedes-Benz 300SEL oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Mercedes-Benz 300SEL oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Mercedes-Benz 300SEL? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 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 300SEL’s oil filter when changing my oil? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Mercedes-Benz 300SEL every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
