Going over service interval
Hi all, 2013 C250 coupe. 300 miles overdue for A3 service. My wife wants to go to the beach tomorrow. Maybe 600 miles total and she really wants to take her Benz. Would this get into being excessively overdue?
May just change the oil and filter in the garage tonight to be safe or take a different car. Thanks

That far to the beach? It's 80 yards for me, lol. I think it would be ok. Typically with good oils the oil analysis tend to show they are holding up well at 10k. It's often the filter that goes first.

Thanks, thats just about what I thought too, but I still wanted to ask here. Your a lucky guy to live that close to the sea! We're in the RDU area of NC and drove down here to Myrtle Beach, SC.

direct injected haters club
Does oil have an expiration date? Does it have a label that says "change your oil @ 10k or @ 10.1k your engine will die?" That is just BS like changing your oil @ 3k.
BREATH..........
DI is not the end of the world.

DI is not the end of the world.IMHO it isn't. That's why I provided the opinion. Who made you a SME in anything?
Have you even posted a UOA? No, you haven't. Oil doesn't expire (virgin synthetic doesn't for all intents and purposes), but we're not talking about virgin oil here.
You've been here how long and have posted how many detailed posts?
Please.
You want to run your oil into the ground? Fine - your call.
I bet you're one of those people who believe that diff oil is lifetime, as is tranny oil, eh?

Waiting 600 miles is not going to make any difference in any good oil..... Do you stop you car when it gets to the oil change millage? Call for a tow. Don't want to drive it with bad oil....... And DI as NOTHING to do with the OP post. Give it a rest.......

Some of us are comfortable with our packages and don't a ruler.
Some of us also spent 5+ years not being on this site, but I guess you wouldn't know since your time spent on here.

soccer moms are driving over their intervals by thousands of miles regularly. 600 miles is nothing, especially on basis by percentage.
