2001 Mercedes-Benz CL600 Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my 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 offering to tow something for a friend, 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.
  • Does my CL600's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Mercedes-Benz CL600’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Mercedes-Benz. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Mercedes-Benz CL600? Yes. Mercedes-Benz CL600 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
