You want your Mercedes-Benz 560SEL to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your 560SEL has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more.

Just follow your 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL 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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 560SEL perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your 560SEL’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 560SEL 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 560SEL battery. 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 560SEL) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz 560SEL won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL engine. To learn how often Mercedes-Benz recommends you have the oil changed in your 1988 560SEL, check out the information table at the beginning of this page.
