What can low oil do to my Mercedes-Benz C280 engine?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your Mercedes-Benz C280 engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

Can I change my Mercedes-Benz oil on my own?

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 it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

Why is my Mercedes-Benz C280 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

Mercedes-Benz recommends changing your 2007 C280’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your C280 in the above table. Outside of Mercedes-Benz-recommended oil change intervals, your C280 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, 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, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm 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.
