1997 Mercedes-Benz E420 Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Mercedes-Benz E420 and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your E420. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your E420, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1997 Mercedes-Benz E420 maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mercedes-Benz themselves. 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; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your E420's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1997 Mercedes-Benz E420 problems in the future.

Bring your 1997 Mercedes-Benz E420 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your E420’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1997 Mercedes-Benz E420. If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your E420 may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz E420 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 E420 stranded. Your Mercedes-Benz E420 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1997 Mercedes-Benz E420 running newer, longer. See Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1997 E420 in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1997 Mercedes-Benz E420? We can help with that, too!
