Synthetic Oil vs. Regular Oil

Your Mercedes-Benz maintenance schedule requires you to use synthetic oil. Synthetic oil improves upon the lubricating and heat-distributing qualities of standard oil by adding powder additives and carrying elements for optimal distribution. Additionally, synthetic oil goes through an expanded process of purification, where it is refined, distilled, and modified at the molecular level. The difference between synthetic oil and regular oil consists in the former’s superior performance. With Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement* for your Mercedes-Benz, you’ll enjoy:

• A lower degree of friction as your oil moves through the machinery
• Fewer deposits and a cleaner engine
• More dependable performance when you’re facing extreme heat or cold

How Often is Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement Needed?

Every time you schedule Mercedes-Benz Service A** or Service B**, we’ll take care of your Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement and Oil Filter Replacement. While this generally means that you’ll visit us once every 10,000 miles, you should rely on your ASSYST Plus system to tell you exactly when it’s time to schedule service***. So, although you should check your oil level once every month or so, you’ll never have to keep track of your mileage or remember when you last brought your vehicle in.
