What Does Mercedes-Benz Oil Service Include?

When you visit the service center at Mercedes-Benz of Centerville near Kettering, you can expect our team to handle the following:

• Complete a Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement* for model years 2009 and newer as a component of Mercedes-Benz Service Aor Mercedes-Benz Service B

• Complete Oil Filter Replacement* using genuine parts 
• Recycle the old filter

What’s the Difference Between Synthetic Oil vs. Regular Oil?

Synthetic oil consists of base oil, powder additives, and a carrier oil that allows the additives to get distributed evenly. Like with regular oil, this is also made from refined crude oils. The biggest difference is how much refining is involved. Synthetic oil is refined, distilled, purified, and broken down at a molecular level. There are several advantages to using conventional oils, such as:

• Less friction due to similar molecule sizes
• Reduced deposits
• Cleaner engine operation due to additives
• Higher performance in extreme climates
• Fewer impurities in the final product

How Often is a Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement Needed?

Mercedes-Benz Service A** and Service B** intervals include Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement and Oil Filter Replacement. Because of this, there’s no need to think too much about tracking the number of miles and months that’s passed since your last oil replacement service. Your vehicle’s Flexible Service System will notify you when it’s time for Service A^ (every 10,000 miles or 1 year) or Service B^ (every 20,000 miles or 2 years).
