Why check the motor oil level in my Mercedes-Benz C300?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your C300’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

Can I change my Mercedes-Benz C300 oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Mercedes-Benz C300 exhaust smoke grayish or blue?

Mercedes-Benz recommends having your 2023 Mercedes-Benz C300’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Mercedes-Benz-recommended oil change intervals, your C300 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle 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. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mercedes-Benz C300. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
