1984 Mercedes-Benz 300TD Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Mercedes-Benz 300TD to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 300TD. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 300TD, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300TD!

Mercedes-Benz knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your 300TD running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300TD problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300TD 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your 300TD. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300TD? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. 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 300TD battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. 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 300TD won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300TD running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1984 300TD.

We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300TD.
