How Often to Change 1995 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Mercedes-Benz SL500’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just 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 changing your 1995 SL500’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your SL500 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 areas, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mercedes-Benz SL500. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
