What Happens If You Don’t Schedule Mercedes-Benz Oil Service?

If you forget to schedule Mercedes-Benz oil service, you’ll get a notification from your ASSYST Plus service system letting you know that it’s time to come in. However, if you drive an older model, or manage to miss one or more of your service appointments, the risks to your vehicle can be serious.  So, what happens if you don’t replace your oil? At the very least, parts will start to wear down more quickly, and the overall longevity of your vehicle may be negatively impacted as you drive through the Phoenix area. For that reason, Mercedes-Benz Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement* is one of the most important items on your service checklist!

What Does Motor Oil Do?

In models made during model year 2009 or later, Mercedes-Benz Synthetic Oil Replacement is performed as part of Mercedes-Benz Service A** or Mercedes-Benz Service B**. Here’s what you should know:

• The service lubricates your engine’s moving parts and ensures that heat is distributed away from vulnerable components.
• It also ensures that the seals which protect your engine continue to function as intended.
• On long enough timelines, failing to secure oil service can lead to overheating, which can generate irreversible damage or leave you stranded, waiting on Roadside Assistance.

Every Mercedes-Benz oil service we perform is carried out with genuine Mercedes-Benz synthetic motor oil. In addition to the above, this unique synthetic oil product utilizes dispersants and detergents in order to clean your engine as it runs.

How Often Should I Change My Vehicle’s Oil?

As we noted above, most new Mercedes-Benz vehicles include an ASSYST Plus service tracker that will tell you exactly when you’re due for service. However, it never hurts to keep track of your visits by hand.  You’ll generally want to alternate between Mercedes-Benz Service A and Mercedes-Benz Service B, scheduling service once every 10,000 miles***, or roughly once per year. In the event that your system indicates that you’re due for a different set of services, you can expect that Mercedes-Benz Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement will still be included with your visit.
