The 2001 Mercedes E430 comes with a 4.3-liter 8-cylinder engine that holds 8.5 US quarts of either 0W-30 or 0W-40 oil along with a filter. It is recommended to change the oil and filter every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months if using fully synthetic oil, or every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months with conventional oil. Synthetic oils offer benefits like improved lubrication, longer service intervals, and better performance in extreme weather conditions. Thinner-viscosity oils move more smoothly in cold temperatures, protecting engine parts and reducing friction and corrosion. On average, a Mercedes oil change and filter replacement cost around $280-$300 for materials and labor.
The 2001 Mercedes E430 is recommended to use Mobil 1 Advanced Synthetic Motor Oil in the 5W-50 viscosity grade.
