Mercedes-Benz recommends having your 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your 300SEL may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Mercedes-Benz recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mercedes-Benz 300SEL. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL Oil Change Questions

  • 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, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your 300SEL’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 your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. 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 it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz 300SEL spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Mercedes-Benz 300SEL? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Mercedes-Benz 300SEL oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • 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 change my 300SEL's oil filter when I get an oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 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.
