1989 Mercedes-Benz 300SE Maintenance

When it comes to your Mercedes-Benz 300SE, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your 300SE could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 300SE, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1989 Mercedes-Benz 300SE maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mercedes-Benz themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include 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 300SE's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1989 Mercedes-Benz 300SE problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1989 Mercedes-Benz 300SE 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your 300SE's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1989 Mercedes-Benz 300SE be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 300SE 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 300SE battery. 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 300SE) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz 300SE won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1989 Mercedes-Benz 300SE running newer, longer. See Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1989 300SE 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. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1989 Mercedes-Benz 300SE.

Routine upkeep for your Mercedes-Benz 300SE suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!).
