Can Mercedes-Benzs get engine sludge?

Yes, regular oil changes really ARE important! If you’re driving around with old motor oil, the broken-down fluid (and resulting debris) isn’t protecting your engine parts. In fact, it may even be causing slow damage to your Mercedes-Benz C280’s engine! Routine oil changes may seem like an insignificant maintenance task, but trust us – your future self will thank you.

Is Mercedes-Benz's recommended maintenance really that important?

One of your best defenses against paying for repair services is following Mercedes-Benz's recommended maintenance schedule for 1997 C280s. Mercedes-Benz built your vehicle and can best anticipate when something will need to be serviced or replaced.

What should I tell the technician when I bring my Mercedes-Benz to the shop?

No one likes having to get repair service on their trusty Mercedes-Benz C280, but you can help minimize the hassle. As soon as you notice something that doesn’t seem right in your vehicle, make a note of the date and what happens (and write it down so you don’t forget!). Are there new noises coming from the engine? Does something smell funny in your A/C vents? The more information you can give to your technician, the better! We’ll be able to find the root of the problem quickly and address it before it gets any worse.
