What Does a Mercedes-Benz Oil Replacement Include?

For Phoenix-area Mercedes-Benz drivers, regularly-scheduled oil service is of the utmost importance. Mercedes-Benz oil service* is comprehensive, and designed to protect your potent vehicle’s precise engineering. Here’s what the Mercedes-Benz of Chandler service department will do:

• For Model Years 2009 and Newer: Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement* as a component of Mercedes-Benz Service A** or Mercedes-Benz Service B**
• For Model Years 2008 and Older: Mercedes-Benz oil change (when not part of Service A/B)
• For All Models: Oil Filter Replacement* with genuine parts
• For All Models: Recycling of the old filter

Synthetic Oil vs. Regular Oil in Mercedes-Benz Vehicles

All Mercedes-Benz vehicles require synthetic oil because of their specially-designed engines. Synthetic oil is enhanced with elements and powder additives that increase oil life and ensure an optimal distribution of heat. It’s processed more than regular refined motor oil, and distilled at the molecular level.  That means you’ll enjoy lower friction, fewer deposits, and less performance-limiting residue getting in the way of your engine. That’s especially important in Gilbert’s more extreme weather conditions, or in areas where you might be impacted by the freezing cold.
