When it comes to caring for your vehicle, Mercedes-Benz oil change service should be a top priority. Oil changes may seem inconsequential to your day-to-day driving experience, but if neglected can have a huge effect on your vehicle’s performance over time. To help you avoid this, here are three signs you should always be on the lookout for that indicate it’s time for an oil change at Mercedes-Benz of Orange Park.
Check Engine Light
Your check engine light can be an indicator of many different kinds of problems under the hood, but in many cases, it can be your first indication of dirty oil. The sensors in your engine monitor for oil quality and will trigger the indicator on your dashboard when they detect oil past its prime. This sign doesn’t call for an immediate visit, but you should investigate it further to rule out other issues.
Lower Fuel Mileage
Another sign you might notice is decreased fuel efficiency from your engine. If you notice that you’re visiting the gas station more than usual, this could be an indication that your engine needs an oil change.
Oil Odor in Cabin
This will be one indication that you can’t ignore. If you detect a smell of oil when you turn your car on, that means the oil your engine utilizes to clean and lubricate itself is no longer able to do its job. Once you notice this it’s crucial that you have your engine looked at immediately. If you don’t, your engine may require repairs that will far exceed the price of a standard oil change.
