Why check the motor oil level in my Mercedes-Benz G550?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your Mercedes-Benz G550 engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

Can I change my Mercedes-Benz G550 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. 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 G550 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

What can cause the oil light on my Mercedes-Benz G550 to illuminate?

Do I need to change my G550's oil filter when I get an oil change?
