Mercedes-Benz recommends having your 2004 Mercedes-Benz E500’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your E500 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Mercedes-Benz E500.

2004 Mercedes-Benz E500 Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Mercedes-Benz E500 motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Mercedes-Benz E500 engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Mercedes-Benz E500 oil at home? 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. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz E500 exhaust smoke grayish 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 the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Mercedes-Benz E500 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Mercedes-Benz E500 oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Mercedes-Benz E500 to illuminate? The oil change light in your Mercedes-Benz E500 could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Mercedes-Benz E500? Every time you change the oil in your Mercedes-Benz E500, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
