Your 1983 300TD’s oil should be changed according to Mercedes-Benz’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 300TD in the above table. No matter the mileage, your 300TD may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, 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, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mercedes-Benz 300TD. 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.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1983 Mercedes-Benz 300TD motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Mercedes-Benz has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 1983 300TD. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, keep the engine cool, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During an oil change, one of our techs will change your 300TD’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, check all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your 300TD by considering your driving habits, and mileage.
