A Word About Synthetic Oil

High-performance vehicles like those made by Mercedes-Benz usually require synthetic oil instead of conventional oil. Like conventional oil, synthetic oil is refined from crude oil, but synthetic oils are also distilled, purified, and broken down at the molecular level. This makes it possible for synthetic oils to:

• Create less friction due to similar molecule sizes
• Reduce deposits
• Provide cleaner engine operation due to additives
• Perform better in extreme climates

Here are the synthetic oils recommended for Mercedes-Benz models:
