Engine Noises

If your Mercedes-Benz is making noise such as ticking, knocking or loud grinding it could mean inefficient performance. Following service schedules as recommended by the manufacturer will help keep your vehicle running optimally.

Burning Smell or Heavy Smoke

A burning smell often goes hand in hand with dark or excessive smoke. If your oil is burning, it will give off an unpleasant smell. Thick black smoke or excessive smoke can also indicate burning oil and alert you that there is a potential problem. Never ignore smoke or a burning smell because small issues can create bigger problems in the long run. Schedule an appointment for an oil change at the first sign that something is wrong.

Dark or Dirty Appearing Oil

You should check your oil frequently via the dipstick to detect any dark or dirty oil. This indicates it is time for an oil change. Oil is an amber color so when it gets old it will start to degrade and turn dark or look as if debris is present. It won’t run well if it is not taken care of, so be sure to adhere to the recommended service schedules.

Illuminated Dashboard Lights

If the check engine light or the oil can icon is illuminated on your dashboard, this means you should do it. Get your engine and oil checked immediately to prevent costly repairs later.
