How Often to Get 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL450 Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL450? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Mercedes-Benz recommends having your 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL450’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your GL450 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change 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, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mercedes-Benz GL450. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

What’s the Right Type of Oil for 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL450?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL450 motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Mercedes-Benz has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the ideal engine oil for your 2009 GL450. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, maintain proper engine temperature, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. In an oil change service, a technician will change your GL450's oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your GL450 by considering your driving habits, and mileage.

2009 Mercedes-Benz GL450 Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Mercedes-Benz GL450 motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your GL450’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Mercedes-Benz GL450 oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. 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 it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz GL450 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does Mercedes-Benz GL450 oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Mercedes-Benz GL450 oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What does it mean if my Mercedes-Benz GL450 oil light comes on? Your Mercedes-Benz GL450 oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to replace my GL450’s oil filter when changing my oil? Every time you change the oil in your Mercedes-Benz GL450, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
