Mercedes-Benz recommends changing your 1989 560SEC’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 560SEC in the above table.

1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mercedes-Benz 560SEC? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your 560SEC’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Mercedes-Benz oil on my own? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. 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 exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Mercedes-Benz 560SEC? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Mercedes-Benz 560SEC oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What does it mean if my Mercedes-Benz 560SEC oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Mercedes-Benz 560SEC oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Does my 560SEC's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Mercedes-Benz 560SEC during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
