1987 Mercedes-Benz 300D Maintenance Schedule

You want your Mercedes-Benz 300D to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your 300D could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get 300D maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300D!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercedes-Benz, your vehicle manufacturer. 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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 300D perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300D problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300D for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your 300D’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 300D? 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 300D may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mercedes-Benz 300D 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty 300D) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz 300D could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300D's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1987 300D. 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. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300D.
