Take care of your Mercedes-Benz 500SEC and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 500SEC. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get 500SEC maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1993 Mercedes-Benz 500SEC maintenance schedule!

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; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 500SEC perform better, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 1993 Mercedes-Benz 500SEC problems.

Bring your 1993 Mercedes-Benz 500SEC to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with 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 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 1993 Mercedes-Benz 500SEC? 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 500SEC may need a replacement battery sooner. 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. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 500SEC stranded. Your Mercedes-Benz 500SEC 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 prevent premature wear on your 1993 Mercedes-Benz 500SEC engine.

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'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1993 Mercedes-Benz 500SEC.
