1986 Mercedes-Benz 300SDL Maintenance

You want your Mercedes-Benz 300SDL to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your 300SDL has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. 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 300SDL 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 1986 Mercedes-Benz 300SDL!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mercedes-Benz themselves. 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, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 300SDL perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1986 Mercedes-Benz 300SDL problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1986 Mercedes-Benz 300SDL for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your 300SDL's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1986 Mercedes-Benz 300SDL be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to 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 300SDL 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 300SDL) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz 300SDL won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1986 Mercedes-Benz 300SDL engine. See Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1986 300SDL in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil.
