1988 Mercedes-Benz 190E Maintenance Schedule

You want your Mercedes-Benz 190E to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 190E. 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 190E maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1988 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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your 190E running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190E problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190E and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your 190E's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1988 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mercedes-Benz 190E battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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.
