Should I check my Mercedes-Benz SL550 motor oil level?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your Mercedes-Benz SL550 engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

Can I change my Mercedes-Benz SL550 oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d 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 also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Mercedes-Benz SL550 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
