What can low oil do to my Mercedes-Benz GLC43 AMG engine?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Mercedes-Benz GLC43 AMG engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

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. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
