Your 2002 S600’s oil should be changed according to Mercedes-Benz’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your S600 in the above table. Your S600 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, 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, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mercedes-Benz S600. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

2002 Mercedes-Benz S600 Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my Mercedes-Benz S600 engine? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Mercedes-Benz S600 engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Mercedes-Benz S600 oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might 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 S600 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Mercedes-Benz S600 oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Mercedes-Benz S600 oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz S600 oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Mercedes-Benz S600 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 S600’s oil filter when changing my oil? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Mercedes-Benz S600 every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
