Mercedes-Benz recommends changing your 1998 C230’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your C230 may need its oil changed ASAP 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 might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Mercedes-Benz if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Mercedes-Benz C230. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
