1984 Mercedes-Benz 300SD Maintenance

Take care of your Mercedes-Benz 300SD and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 300SD. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 300SD, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300SD maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercedes-Benz, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes 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 300SD's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300SD problems later.

Bring your 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300SD to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 300SD's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300SD be ready for a new battery? 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 300SD may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz 300SD battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Mercedes-Benz 300SD won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300SD's engine run smoother. See Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1984 300SD in the chart at the top 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'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300SD.
