Why check the motor oil level in my Mercedes-Benz GLS550?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your GLS550’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

How hard is it to change Mercedes-Benz GLS550 oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. 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 it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

Why is my Mercedes-Benz GLS550 exhaust smoke grayish or blue?

Does my GLS550's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change?

When to Change 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS550 Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS550? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. 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 changing your 2017 GLS550’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Mercedes-Benz-recommended oil change intervals, your GLS550 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock 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, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mercedes-Benz GLS550. 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.

You can drive easy knowing that we strive to do what's best for your vehicle and take into account your driving preferences, and the number of miles on your odometer.
