1988 Mercedes-Benz 190D Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Mercedes-Benz 190D to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your 190D has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine 190D maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190D!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mercedes-Benz themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 190D's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190D problems in the future.

Bring your 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190D to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your 190D’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190D? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mercedes-Benz 190D battery, and so can frequent short drives. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 190D stranded. Your Mercedes-Benz 190D could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190D running newer, longer. See Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1988 190D in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190D? We can help with that, too!
