Your 2013 SLK55 AMG’s oil should be changed according to Mercedes-Benz’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your SLK55 AMG may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. 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 SLK55 AMG exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. 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, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG 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 SLK55 AMG to illuminate? The oil change light in your Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG 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.
  • Does my SLK55 AMG's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG 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?
