What happens if my Mercedes-Benz 560SEL spark plugs fail?

When it’s time to replace the spark plugs, don’t delay. These small (but vital!) parts provide the electric spark that your car needs in order to start, and old spark plugs can prevent your car from starting at all. Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.

What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Mercedes-Benz 560SEL?

Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Mercedes-Benz 560SEL. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.

Are some driving habits better for my Mercedes-Benz 560SEL engine than others?

You can make your driving habits more engine-friendly. Hard starts and stops can increase the stress on engine parts, especially over many years. Boost your fuel economy and care for your engine by using gradual, smooth starts and stops instead.

This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance). Keep in mind that your 560SEL's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs.
