Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SEC? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires.

Mercedes-Benz recommends having your 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SEC’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your 380SEC 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 car, 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 long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mercedes-Benz 380SEC. 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 380SEC motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Mercedes-Benz has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best motor oil for your 1983 380SEC. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, keep the engine cool, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. During an oil change, a technician will change your 380SEC's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your 380SEC by considering your driving style, weather and road conditions,
