Your 2009 SLK300’s oil should be changed according to Mercedes-Benz’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK300

  • Should I check my Mercedes-Benz SLK300 motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Mercedes-Benz SLK300 engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Mercedes-Benz SLK300 oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz SLK300 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? 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.
  • Who offers Mercedes-Benz SLK300 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Mercedes-Benz SLK300 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 SLK300 to illuminate? Your Mercedes-Benz SLK300 oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Do I need to change my SLK300's oil filter when I get an oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Mercedes-Benz SLK300 every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
