Should I check my Mercedes-Benz C250 motor oil level?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Mercedes-Benz C250 engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

Can I change my Mercedes-Benz C250 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 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 C250 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

What does it mean if my Mercedes-Benz C250 oil light comes on?

Your Mercedes-Benz C250 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.

Do I need to replace my C250’s oil filter when changing my oil?

It's recommended that you replace your Mercedes-Benz C250 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.

Not sure how or where to get your Mercedes-Benz C250’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Mercedes-Benz recommends having your 2014 Mercedes-Benz C250’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your C250 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Mercedes-Benz if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Mercedes-Benz C250. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
