Oil Maintenance and Service Tips
Regular oil changes are critical for maintaining Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG engine performance and longevity. Check oil levels monthly using the dipstick when the engine is warm and the vehicle is on level ground. Always use oil meeting MB 229.5 specifications to ensure proper protection.
Replace the oil filter with every oil change using OEM or equivalent high-quality filters. Torque the oil drain plug to 22-25 lb-ft (30 N·m) to prevent leaks and damage. Use a new copper washer on the drain plug with each oil change for proper sealing.
For normal driving conditions, follow the manufacturer recommended interval of 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months. Severe driving conditions including frequent short trips, extreme temperatures, or track use require more frequent oil changes at 5,000-7,500 mile intervals. Synthetic oil provides superior protection compared to conventional oil, especially for high-performance AMG engines.
