Classic Service: Pre-1980
MAINTENANCE
Mercedes-Benz vehicles produced before 1980 we recommend an oil and filter change be performed every 3,500 miles or atleast 1 time per year. For true "classics" we recommend using the Mercedes-Benz original C/D and E/Z Services.
The other operating fluids are all on independent schedules depending on engine type, driveline, and transmission.
