1985 Mercedes-Benz 300TD Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Mercedes-Benz 300TD, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 300TD. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get 300TD maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1985 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. 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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like 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 300TD running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300TD problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300TD and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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 300TD’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300TD? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and 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 300TD battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 300TD stranded. Your Mercedes-Benz 300TD 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 1985 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 1985 300TD. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300TD.
