How often should you get an oil change?

• Follow the manufacturer’s recommended interval on your vehicle’s maintenance booklet and the multi-condition service indicator; many modern Mercedes-Benz vehicles use condition-based monitoring rather than a fixed mile interval.
• For high-performance V8 engines, regular checks and adherence to dealer-recommended intervals are important — typically every 7,500–10,000 miles for many synthetic oil regimens, but this varies with driving style and conditions.
• Severe driving conditions — frequent short trips, heavy towing, or extreme temperatures — may require more frequent changes; our service advisors can recommend the ideal interval for your driving habits.
• Keeping dealer service records with Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth ensures consistent maintenance history, which supports long-term reliability and resale value.

How much oil does a 2014 Mercedes-Benz M-Class need?

• Oil capacity depends on the engine and whether the filter is changed; high-displacement V8 engines typically require more oil than smaller engines.

• At Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth we always confirm the precise quantity during service, top to manufacturer-specified levels, and verify via dipstick or electronic monitoring to avoid overfill or underfill.
• Accurate oil volume ensures optimal lubrication, turbocharger protection, and long-term engine health — and keeps your warranty intact when service is performed at a certified dealership.
