Mercedes-Benz recommends having your 2002 Mercedes-Benz SL500’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your SL500 in the above table. Outside of Mercedes-Benz-recommended oil change intervals, your SL500 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 vehicle, 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, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mercedes-Benz SL500. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2002 Mercedes-Benz SL500

  • What can low oil do to my Mercedes-Benz SL500 engine? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your SL500’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Mercedes-Benz oil on my own? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle 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 caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Mercedes-Benz SL500 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Mercedes-Benz SL500 oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz SL500 oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Mercedes-Benz SL500 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.
  • Does my SL500's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Mercedes-Benz SL500 during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
