When it comes to your Mercedes-Benz CL500, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your CL500.

It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2001 Mercedes-Benz CL500!

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. 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.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2001 Mercedes-Benz CL500 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 CL500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2001 Mercedes-Benz CL500. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your CL500 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mercedes-Benz CL500 battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 CL500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz CL500 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2001 Mercedes-Benz CL500.
