Mercedes-Benz recommends having your 1986 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Mercedes-Benz 420SEL. 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.
