1984 Mercedes-Benz 500SEC Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Mercedes-Benz 500SEC to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your 500SEC has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get 500SEC maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1984 Mercedes-Benz 500SEC!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mercedes-Benz themselves. 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 500SEC running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1984 Mercedes-Benz 500SEC problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1984 Mercedes-Benz 500SEC 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 500SEC. 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 500SEC? 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 500SEC 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. 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 500SEC 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 prevent premature wear on your 1984 Mercedes-Benz 500SEC engine. To learn how often Mercedes-Benz recommends you have the oil changed in your 1984 500SEC, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1984 Mercedes-Benz 500SEC? We can help with that, too!
