1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Mercedes-Benz 300SEL to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 300SEL. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 300SEL, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercedes-Benz, your vehicle manufacturer. 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 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 300SEL's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your 300SEL’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 300SEL may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 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 300SEL) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz 300SEL could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL running newer, longer. See Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1991 300SEL 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 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL.

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

Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Mercedes-Benz 300SEL's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Mercedes-Benz 300SEL maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Mercedes-Benz 300SEL engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning.
