How Often to Change 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL600 Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Mercedes-Benz SL600’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Mercedes-Benz recommends having your 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL600’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your SL600 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 an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Mercedes-Benz if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mercedes-Benz SL600. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
