Every vehicle starts with a full condition inspection: we go through the whole vehicle — brakes, tires, lights, wipers, fluids, belts, hoses and the battery — record its condition from day one and connect it to Aperio, and if an oil change or tire rotation is due we do it at that same visit. One-time onboarding — $45 per vehicle. Pay it once; that vehicle is in for life.
What your C280 takes.
Oil grade and capacity from the manufacturer's service specification. Single-visit prices are for the oil change itself, before the $20 mobile service fee and tax; full synthetic is what we recommend, and basic (conventional) is shown where the engine allows. Confirm the engine code on your emissions label if your year lists more than one. The Annual plan column is what that engine costs on the plan for a full year — oil changes included, nothing added per visit.

| 2006–2007 | 3.0L 6-cyl 2996CC | $273/yr | 0W-30 | 8 L 8.5 qt | $223.00 | $160.60 |

Mercedes-Benz C280
What oil does your Mercedes-Benz C280 take?
It depends on the year and engine — the table above lists the manufacturer's grade for each. Recent C280s most often take 0W-30. We fill with full synthetic in the specified grade.
How much oil does your Mercedes-Benz C280 hold?
7–8 L (7.4–8.5 qt) with a new filter, depending on engine. We fill to the dipstick and record the amount in your service record.
How often should I change the oil in my C280?
On the plan, when the C280's oil-life monitor reaches 10% or at 8,000 km (5,000 mi) — whichever comes later — or on Mercedes-Benz's published interval. If your C280 is 2013 or newer, Aperio reads the oil-life monitor and books the visit when it's due, so you never guess.
Can you do the oil change at my home?
Yes. That's the whole idea — a licensed technician comes to your driveway, workplace or a legal street spot anywhere we serve, brings the right oil and filter for your C280, and sends photos of the work.
What does a Mercedes-Benz C280 oil change cost?
$223.00 for a European-approval synthetic oil change on the most recent C280, plus the $20 mobile service fee — the table above shows the price for every year and engine. On the plan the oil change is included and you pay only that fee.
What does the Aperio plan cost for my Mercedes-Benz C280?
$273 a year. The 3.0L 6-cyl 2996CC takes 8 L (8.5 qt). The plan includes 6 L (6.3 qt); each extra litre adds $7 a year, so this engine's plan is $273 a year. European makes are $60 a year more because they need European-approval oil — it's included. Other engines in this range are priced in the Annual plan column. One annual price, and nothing added per oil change. The plan covers every routine service on the schedule: oil and filter, rotations, seasonal swaps, tire, brake and battery inspections and air filters. The only other charge is the $20 mobile service fee per visit (first 4 visits a year; $30 after).
