Your 2004 CL500’s oil should be changed according to Mercedes-Benz’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

2004 Mercedes-Benz CL500 Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mercedes-Benz CL500? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your Mercedes-Benz CL500 engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change Mercedes-Benz CL500 oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Mercedes-Benz CL500? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Mercedes-Benz CL500 oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz CL500 oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Mercedes-Benz CL500 oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Do I need to change my CL500's oil filter when I get an oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Mercedes-Benz CL500 every time you change the oil.
