Frequently Asked Questions

Why is an oil change important for a 2013 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class?

• Engine lubrication: fresh oil reduces friction across the V8 twin-turbo's moving parts, preventing premature wear and preserving performance.
• Turbo protection: clean oil helps protect turbocharger components and bearings that run at high speed and temperature.
• Heat management: new oil removes heat more effectively, stabilizing engine temperatures and supporting the 4.7L engine's longevity.
• Fuel efficiency and emissions: correct oil viscosity and quality maintain fuel economy and reduce deposits that increase emissions.
• Resale and reliability: regular, documented dealer service preserves resale value and provides a clear maintenance history.
• Warranty and covered repairs: any warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to protect coverage and ensure parts meet Mercedes-Benz standards.
