Mercedes-Benz recommends having your 2016 Mercedes-Benz G550’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your G550 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2016 Mercedes-Benz G550

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mercedes-Benz G550? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Mercedes-Benz G550 engine failure. 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? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does Mercedes-Benz G550 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Mercedes-Benz G550 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 G550 oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Mercedes-Benz G550 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 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.
