Oil Maintenance and Service Tips
Checking Oil Level
Check engine oil when the engine is warm and on level ground. Allow the engine to sit for at least five minutes after shutting off before checking the dipstick. The oil level should remain between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick.
Oil Change Best Practices
Mercedes-AMG recommends using only MB 229.5-approved synthetic oil for all E63 AMG models. For normal driving conditions, follow the 10,000-mile interval for M157 and M177 engines, or 7,500 miles for M156 engines. Performance driving, track use, or spirited driving should reduce intervals to 5,000 to 7,000 miles.
Always replace the oil filter during each oil change using OEM or equivalent parts. Torque the drain plug to 22 lb-ft and the oil filter housing to 18 lb-ft. Use a new crush washer on the drain plug with each service.
Normal vs Severe Driving Conditions
| Driving Condition | Oil Change Interval | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Use | 10,000 miles or 12 months | Follow manufacturer specifications |
| Severe Use (Track, Spirited Driving) | 5,000 to 7,000 miles | Shorten interval, monitor oil level frequently |
| High Mileage Engines | 5,000 to 7,500 miles | Consider more frequent changes, monitor for consumption |
High-performance V8 engines like those in the E63 AMG may consume oil during normal operation. Check oil levels regularly between service intervals and top off as needed with approved synthetic oil.
