Mercedes-Benz recommends having your 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK350’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your SLK350 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mercedes-Benz SLK350. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mercedes-Benz SLK350? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Mercedes-Benz SLK350 engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Mercedes-Benz oil on my own? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. 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 SLK350 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro 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.
  • Where can I get Mercedes-Benz SLK350 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Mercedes-Benz SLK350 oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Mercedes-Benz SLK350 to illuminate? The oil change light in your Mercedes-Benz SLK350 could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Mercedes-Benz SLK350? It's recommended that you replace your Mercedes-Benz SLK350 oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
