1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Mercedes-Benz 300SL and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 300SL could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine 300SL maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SL!

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, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your 300SL running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SL problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SL for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your 300SL's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SL. In general, car batteries only last 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz 300SL 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 300SL stranded. Your Mercedes-Benz 300SL won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
