What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the 1998 Mercedes-Benz E300?

Here’s Why 1998 Mercedes-Benz E300 Scheduled Maintenance Matters

Take care of your Mercedes-Benz E300 and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your E300 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get E300 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 1998 Mercedes-Benz E300!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercedes-Benz, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your E300's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1998 Mercedes-Benz E300 problems later.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Mercedes-Benz E300 Running Newer, Longer

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1998 Mercedes-Benz E300 and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your E300. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 1998 Mercedes-Benz E300 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mercedes-Benz E300 battery, and so can frequent short drives. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your E300 stranded. Your Mercedes-Benz E300 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1998 Mercedes-Benz E300 engine. See Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1998 E300 in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1998 Mercedes-Benz E300? We can help with that, too!

Without routine Mercedes-Benz E300 maintenance, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C.
