1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Mercedes-Benz 560SL to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 560SL has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get 560SL maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercedes-Benz, your vehicle manufacturer. 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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your 560SL perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your 560SL's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. 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 560SL 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 560SL stranded. Your Mercedes-Benz 560SL won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1987 560SL.
