How Much is Mercedes-Benz Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement?

The cost of synthetic motor oil service depends on the year, model, and trim of your Mercedes-Benz van*. You’re always welcome to ask us for a quote before you bring your van to our service center near Laguna Beach and review our service specials before your appointment. Generally speaking, synthetic oil service costs a bit more than regular oil service, but this is because of synthetic oil’s superior performance and special properties. 

How Often Should You Replace Your Oil?

Mercedes-Benz van owners in Orange County should find that it’s easy to keep up with a proper oil service schedule. That’s because Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement and Oil Filter Replacement are included in the two primary maintenance intervals known as Mercedes-Benz Service A** and Service B**. Your van will alert you each time Service A and Service B are required, which is every 10,000 miles or 1 year and every 20,000 miles or 2 years, respectively. This means you will be getting oil service approximately once per year unless your driving habits require otherwise.
