1985 Mercedes-Benz 500SEL Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Mercedes-Benz 500SEL and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your 500SEL has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get 500SEL maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500SEL maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mercedes-Benz themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 500SEL's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500SEL problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500SEL 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 500SEL. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500SEL. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 500SEL may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mercedes-Benz 500SEL battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty 500SEL) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz 500SEL 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 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500SEL engine. To learn how often Mercedes-Benz recommends you have the oil changed in your 1985 500SEL, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. 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 500SEL.
