Mercedes-Benz recommends changing your 2011 G550’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your G550 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mercedes-Benz G550.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2011 Mercedes-Benz G550

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mercedes-Benz G550? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Mercedes-Benz G550 engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Mercedes-Benz oil on my own? 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 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 damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Mercedes-Benz G550 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Mercedes-Benz G550 oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What does it mean if my Mercedes-Benz G550 oil light comes on? Your Mercedes-Benz G550 oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Do I need to replace my G550’s oil filter when changing my oil? It's recommended that you replace your Mercedes-Benz G550 oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
