1998 Mercedes-Benz CL600 Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz CL600? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your CL600’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your CL600 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my CL600's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Mercedes-Benz CL600 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Mercedes-Benz, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Mercedes-Benz CL600 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Mercedes-Benz CL600 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Who can fix my  Mercedes-Benz CL600 transmission leak? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for CL600 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Should I avoid driving my Mercedes-Benz CL600 if there is a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your CL600 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
