When to Change 2018 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2018 Mercedes-Benz SL550? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2018 SL550’s oil should be changed according to Mercedes-Benz’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your SL550 in the above table. No matter the mileage, your SL550 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, 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, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Mercedes-Benz SL550. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2018 Mercedes-Benz SL550

  • Should I check my Mercedes-Benz SL550 motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Mercedes-Benz SL550 engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Mercedes-Benz SL550 oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce 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 SL550 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of 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, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Mercedes-Benz SL550 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Mercedes-Benz SL550 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.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Mercedes-Benz SL550 to illuminate? The oil change light in your Mercedes-Benz SL550 could be triggered by an overdue oil change.

  • Do I need to replace my SL550’s oil filter when changing my oil? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Mercedes-Benz SL550 every time you change the oil.
