Mercedes-Benz recommends having your 2005 Mercedes-Benz S500’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your S500 in the above table. Your S500 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Mercedes-Benz recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mercedes-Benz S500. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
