The 2001 Mercedes E430'S4.3 liteR8-cylinder engine is equipped with 8.5 US quarts of 0W-30 or 0W-40 with a filter. Oil and filter changes should be scheduled every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months if using fully synthetic lubricants, or every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months, if filling with conventional oil. The advantages of using synthetic vs conventional products include better lubrication among moving parts, a longer interval between service appointments and enhanced effectiveness under adverse weather conditions. A motor oil with a thinner viscosity moves more easily in colder temperatures, coating engine components efficiently and providing better protection against friction and corrosion. Cost of a Mercedes lubricant flush and filter change averages $280-$300 in materials and labor.
