Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2008 Mercedes-Benz E550? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2008 E550’s oil should be changed according to Mercedes-Benz’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your E550 in the above table. Outside of Mercedes-Benz-recommended oil change intervals, your E550 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, 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, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Mercedes-Benz E550. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
