Your 1992 500SEL’s oil should be changed according to Mercedes-Benz’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mercedes-Benz 500SEL? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine.

That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change Mercedes-Benz 500SEL oil at home? 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. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce 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 500SEL spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.

  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Mercedes-Benz 500SEL? You should replace your Mercedes-Benz 500SEL during each oil change.
