Oil Change Q&A for Your 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL600

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mercedes-Benz SL600? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts.

Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
