The 2001 Mercedes S430 requires SAE 5W-30 engine oil. Mercedes suggests using synthetic oil for all oil changes. There are currently two primary types of oil available: conventional, which is petroleum-based and older, and synthetic, which is a newer lab-engineered option that offers superior wear protection and a longer lifespan. As a result, synthetic oil only needs to be changed every 7,500 miles, whereas conventional oil typically requires changing every 3,500 to 5,000 miles. It's advisable to monitor your oil levels regularly and ensure that it remains at the correct level without any signs of burning or debris.
