1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Mercedes-Benz 560SEC to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 560SEC. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your 560SEC, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC!

Mercedes-Benz knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your 560SEC running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC problems later.

Bring your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your 560SEC’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mercedes-Benz 560SEC battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! 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 560SEC 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 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC engine.
