Mercedes-Benz Oil Replacement Information

Since Mercedes-Benz vehicles are built for high performance, most of them require synthetic oil for their oil replacements. While synthetic oil is more expensive than conventional oil, it contains the specific properties and additives that help your engine thrive. Plus, you don’t need to replace synthetic oil as often as conventional. 

Do you have a Mercedes-Benz that you don’t drive very often? It still needs a Mercedes-Benz oil replacement twice a year. Motor oil breaks down in cars that aren’t frequently driven and can damage the engine.
