1991 Mercedes-Benz 500SL Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Mercedes-Benz 500SL to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 500SL could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 500SL, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1991 Mercedes-Benz 500SL!

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, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 500SL perform better, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1991 Mercedes-Benz 500SL problems later.

Bring your 1991 Mercedes-Benz 500SL to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your 500SL’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1991 Mercedes-Benz 500SL? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.

Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mercedes-Benz 500SL battery, and so can frequent short drives.

Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 500SL stranded. Your Mercedes-Benz 500SL won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
