1989 Mercedes-Benz 300TE Maintenance

When it comes to your Mercedes-Benz 300TE, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 300TE could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark.

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercedes-Benz, your vehicle manufacturer. 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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 300TE perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1989 Mercedes-Benz 300TE problems later.

A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1989 Mercedes-Benz 300TE. In general, car batteries only last three to five years.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty 300TE) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz 300TE won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1989 Mercedes-Benz 300TE running newer, longer.
