Compare Mercedes oil change quotes from specialist garages

In 1886, Karl Benz - the founder of Mercedes Benz - introduced what is often considered the first petrol-powered car to the world. The Benz Patent Motor Car was born, and with it began a legacy that continues today.

Style, luxury and innovation are the driving forces behind Mercedes. Not only was it one of the first car manufacturers to put brakes and suspension on all four wheels, but it was also the first to introduce safety crumple zones.

Cars by Mercedes have appeared on the big screen numerous times, from the S-Class used by Jason Statham in The Transporter to escape a gunfight to the 1969 280 SE Convertible driven by Hugh Grant in Bridget Jones's Diary.

You should regularly arrange a car oil change to keep your engine in good condition. With modern lubricants, your car can usually go between 5,000 and 7,000 miles before it needs an engine oil change. Your owner's manual will tell you the recommended distance.

If a warning light tells you your car's oil is low, you should top it up or book an oil change as soon as you can. It's also worth considering booking an oil service that includes a complete oil and filter change. Replacing your filter is vital; your car's performance depends on the oil distribution in the engine.
