Synthetic Oil vs. Regular Oil

First, you may be wondering what synthetic oil is. Synthetic oil consists of a base oil, powder additives, and a carrier oil that allows the additives to be distributed evenly. Like regular oil, it is made from refined crude oils. The main difference between the two is the amount of refining involved. Synthetic oil is refined, distilled, purified, and broken down at the molecular level. This gives it several advantages over conventional oils:

• 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 Mercedes-Benz Oil Replacement Needed?

Mercedes-Benz Service A** and Mercedes-Benz Service B** intervals include synthetic motor oil replacement and oil filter replacement, so you do not have to worry as much about keeping track of the miles and months that have passed since your last oil service. Your car’s Flexible Service System will notify you when it is time for Mercedes-Benz Service A^ (every 10,000 miles or 1 year) or Mercedes-Benz Service B^ (every 20,000 miles or 2 years).
