How Often to Change 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS450 Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS450? Turn to 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, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Mercedes-Benz recommends having your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS450’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your GLS450 in the above table. Outside of Mercedes-Benz-recommended oil change intervals, your GLS450 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Mercedes-Benz recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mercedes-Benz GLS450. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What’s the Right Type of Oil for 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS450?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS450 motor oil: either synthetic or conventional.

You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your GLS450 by taking into account your driving style, and mileage.

2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS450 Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Mercedes-Benz GLS450 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, overheat, and cause your Mercedes-Benz GLS450 engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Mercedes-Benz GLS450 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. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Mercedes-Benz GLS450 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Mercedes-Benz GLS450 oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Mercedes-Benz GLS450 to illuminate? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Mercedes-Benz GLS450 oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Do I need to replace my GLS450’s oil filter when changing my oil? Every time you change the oil in your Mercedes-Benz GLS450, 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.
