Tips to Prolong the Oil Life in Your Mercedes-Benz Car

Wanting to make it longer between Mercedes-Benz motor oil replacement visits? Autobahn Motors and our Bay Area Mercedes-Benz Service Center have a few helpful tips to prolong the oil life in your luxury car or SUV.

3 Ways You Can Prolong Your Car's Oil Life

1. Avoid Sitting in San Francisco Standstill Traffic

Try and not get caught in gridlock between Belmont and San Francisco. Rush hour traffic throughout the Bay Area can leave you at a standstill. Idling in traffic may result in more unburned fuel and fuel dilution, which harms remaining oil life. In these settings, motor oil within your Mercedes-Benz will lose its viscosity quicker and may become contaminated. Take an alternate route back to Belmont if you notice gridlock.

2. Keep Your Mercedes-Benz Running Cool

Don't let your Mercedes-Benz vehicle run hot. Keeping the engine cool prevents the oil temperature from rising, as heat can break down motor oil. Fresh engine coolant and cooling system maintenance may prove beneficial.

3. Get the Right Oil Filter Replacement

At each Service A and Service B visit for your Mercedes-Benz, you'll get an oil filter replacement. This is a fresh oil filter that's made specifically for your Mercedes-Benz. Don't use an aftermarket filter if you are performing a DIY oil change. Be sure to get a genuine Mercedes-Benz oil filter replacement from Autobahn Motors, and you can prolong the oil life in your luxury vehicle.
