Frequently Asked Questions

Why is an oil change important for a 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?

• Preserves engine lubrication: fresh oil maintains a protective film on bearings, pistons and turbochargers to reduce wear and prevent premature failure.
• Protects turbochargers: the twin-turbo V6 in the 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class relies on clean, high-quality oil to cool and lubricate turbo internals.
• Optimizes fuel economy and performance: clean oil reduces friction and helps the engine deliver the rated 362 hp and efficient highway mileage.
• Prevents sludge and deposits: regular oil changes stop buildup that degrades engine breathing and accelerates oil consumption.
• Maintains resale and warranty protection: documented dealer service helps preserve value and ensures warranty-covered repairs remain valid when performed at a certified dealership.
