Mercedes-Benz recommends changing your 2008 GL320’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mercedes-Benz GL320. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL320

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mercedes-Benz GL320? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Mercedes-Benz GL320 engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Mercedes-Benz GL320 oil at home? 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. 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 GL320 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Mercedes-Benz GL320 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Mercedes-Benz GL320 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.
  • What does it mean if my Mercedes-Benz GL320 oil light comes on? The oil change light in your Mercedes-Benz GL320 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 GL320? It's recommended that you replace your Mercedes-Benz GL320 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.
