Need more info about 2014 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than 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.

Your 2014 GLK250’s oil should be changed according to Mercedes-Benz’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your GLK250 in the above table. Your GLK250 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle 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 areas, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mercedes-Benz GLK250. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2014 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Mercedes-Benz has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 2014 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 vehicles. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, regulate engine temperature, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. During your oil change service, an auto technician will change your GLK250’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your GLK250 by taking into account your driving preferences, and the number of miles on your odometer.
