What can low oil do to my Mercedes-Benz GLA250 engine?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your GLA250’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

How hard is it to change Mercedes-Benz GLA250 oil at home?
