What can low oil do to my Mercedes-Benz SL600 engine?

How hard is it to change Mercedes-Benz SL600 oil at home?

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. 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 SL600 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?
