What can low oil do to my Mercedes-Benz 400E engine?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Mercedes-Benz 400E engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

How hard is it to change Mercedes-Benz 400E oil at home?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. 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 400E 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, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

What does it mean if my Mercedes-Benz 400E oil light comes on?

Your Mercedes-Benz 400E oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.

Does my 400E's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change?

It's recommended that you replace your Mercedes-Benz 400E 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.

How Often to Change 1992 Mercedes-Benz 400E Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Mercedes-Benz 400E’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Your 1992 400E’s oil should be changed according to Mercedes-Benz’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Mercedes-Benz-recommended oil change intervals, your 400E may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock 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, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mercedes-Benz 400E. 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.
