Mercedes-Benz recommends having your 1998 Mercedes-Benz C280’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your C280 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Mercedes-Benz recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Mercedes-Benz C280. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
