When to Change 2001 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Mercedes-Benz recommends having your 2001 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your S55 AMG 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 vehicle, 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 long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

2001 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. 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 help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG 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 does it mean if my Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG oil light comes on? The oil change light in your Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to change my S55 AMG's oil filter when I get an oil change? Every time you change the oil in your Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG, 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.
