1990 Mercedes-Benz 300D Maintenance

Take care of your Mercedes-Benz 300D and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 300D. But how do you know what service to get and when? 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 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300D!

Mercedes-Benz knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. 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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 300D's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300D problems in the future.

Bring your 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300D to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your 300D. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300D. In general, car batteries only last three to 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.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300D's engine run smoother. See Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1990 300D 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. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300D? We can help with that, too!
