1987 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Mercedes-Benz 420SEL and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 420SEL has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 420SEL, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL maintenance schedule!

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; 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 420SEL running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 1987 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your 420SEL. 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 1987 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL? 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 420SEL battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty 420SEL) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz 420SEL won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1987 420SEL. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. 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 1987 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL.
