Mercedes-Benz recommends changing your 2013 SLK250’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your SLK250 in the above table. Outside of Mercedes-Benz-recommended oil change intervals, your SLK250 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle 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, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Mercedes-Benz SLK250. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
