1996 Mercedes-Benz E300 Maintenance

You want your Mercedes-Benz E300 to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your E300 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get E300 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1996 Mercedes-Benz E300 maintenance schedule!

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. 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 fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your E300 running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1996 Mercedes-Benz E300 problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1996 Mercedes-Benz E300 and our technicians will jump right in 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your E300’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1996 Mercedes-Benz E300. 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz E300 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 E300 stranded. Your Mercedes-Benz E300 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1996 Mercedes-Benz E300 running newer, longer. To learn how often Mercedes-Benz recommends you have the oil changed in your 1996 E300, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1996 Mercedes-Benz E300.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Mercedes-Benz E300 can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Mercedes-Benz E300 steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Mercedes-Benz E300's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Mercedes-Benz E300 services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Mercedes-Benz E300 cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is your Mercedes-Benz E300 radiator in need of replacement? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 1996 Mercedes-Benz E300 maintenance and repairs.
