Do You Need Mercedes-Benz Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement?

You only need Mercedes-Benz synthetic motor oil replacement if your vehicle uses synthetic oil. Otherwise, you’ll simply need a conventional oil replacement. What’s the difference? Synthetic oil goes through a more extensive refining process than conventional oil, so it’s recommended for many high-performance engines. It offers advantages such as:

• Reduced friction between engine parts
• Reduced deposits 
• Cleaner engine operation due to additives 
• Higher performance in extreme climates 
• Fewer impurities in the final product
