Maintenance for Your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the 1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E?

Here’s Why 1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E Scheduled Maintenance Matters

You want your Mercedes-Benz 190E to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 190E has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine 190E maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercedes-Benz, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 190E's life, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E problems in the future.

Overview of Essential Mercedes-Benz 190E Maintenance Needs

Bring your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your 190E’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz 190E battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty 190E) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz 190E won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E running newer, longer. To learn how often Mercedes-Benz recommends you have the oil changed in your 1987 190E, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E.

Maintaining your Mercedes-Benz 190E steering and suspension system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle.

Components within your Mercedes-Benz 190E's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Mercedes-Benz 190E services, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Mercedes-Benz 190E’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too.

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my Mercedes-Benz 190E? You know your Mercedes-Benz 190E better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When does my Mercedes-Benz 190E need high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Mercedes-Benz 190E engines.
  • Can Mercedes-Benz dashboard warning lights wait? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Mercedes-Benz 190E in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
